Could someone give me an educated guess on what this would be worth? It's a low back from 1972 with original box, manual, warranty card and purchase receipt. In excellent condition but does have a turn line on the cylinder.

With that box, the package should fetch $700+ .
I am very much into the Low Backs, and even I would pay that much, assuming it's as good throughout as the photos show.

I'm feeling lucky... might it be 150-21799?
The box is what really makes it. By itself it would be a $650 gun, but the early white box jumps that up quite a lot, and you have the early manual and at least a partial warranty card. On GunBroker, it would not surprise me to see $900+ on that package.

Not wanting to off track this discussion, But what is this "Low Back" you speak of?
It's the early frame design, generally speaking restricted to the 150 prefix guns, but a few stainless lowbacks were made in the low end of 151 and some blue highback fixed sight guns appear in the upper end of 150. The highback puts a bit more metal above the web of your hand, reducing the tendency for the hammer to bite you on recoil. The grips do not interchange from one to the other.

Don't forget that the lowback is known into the 151 prefix, usually below 151-05xxx, This one is an outlier.
jcma - yes, a gun with a red front sight insert would be a highback. The insert started around the 156 prefix.

OK, Thanks! I won't have to take the Grips off.
