    Place a value on these firearms. They have been in storage for 20 + years. I cleaned them today and placed them into a foam cut case that I recently got from Derf.

    The story I got on these that they were of my Aunt's late 1st husband who was the orginal purchaser. No original boxes as over the years they were just put in a file box at the top of a closet.

    After she took the Nolatac CHP class, she asked if I would clean some of her pistols, to my suprise this is what I was presented with..

    What do you say.. On the revolvers I suspect LSP972 would have the most info..

    Good Holy Jesus those revolvers are BEAUTIFUL!

    As it says on the barrel, the Colt is a Lawman .357 which was actually the "budget" model, came in 2" and 4". Apparently the 2" was more common, and usually in blue.
    I don't have a blue book, but looking on the various auction sites, I haven't found one for under $500. Not as desirable as the Python, but still a nice piece.
    My guess would be since its nickel and in great shape, $600-$800.

    That Smith is a fine piece as well. Can you get the model number off the frame?

    The .22 is a Rohm. Nothing special about it. Low end piece.

    The Mauser is .380. Marked 9mm Short.

    You SURE the Smith is a .44? Looks like 38 Special on the barrel.

    Open the cylinder and look on the frame and post the model #.

    Your Tyson Corners Sig should date to 1985-88. There will be a date code on the bottom front of the slide.
    Nice pistol.

    Thanks for the replies.. I didnt browse to take the 380 apart. LSP your right about the Kurtz? marking. She has left but I am gonna try to get it before I leave for inspection.

    I have the marking from the bottom of the Sig on my phone.

    The S&W is marked 44 S&W Special Cartridge...

    The Mauser says plainly, on the L/H side of the slide, "Model HSc Super" and "CAL 380 ACP".

    The Smith certainly looks like it says 44 S&W Special CTG, which would make it a 624, although not a 624 Mountain Gun. Mountain Guns have 4 inch barrels.
