I paid $650 for it. This was a little more than I wanted to spend on this particular gun, but given the condition and the fact that it is the earlier model with the hard-rubber grips, I felt it was a fair price.
I'd been searching for one of these off and on for years. Most of the M1882 Revolvers I find have the wooden grips, which were later productions and produced over a longer period of time. Finding this particular version in this kind of condition was a real treat. Condition aside, I really like the quality and refinement of the action for a revolver made around 1890.
