He is asking $400, but I may be able to talk him down a little.

Well. it turned out when I went back that the dealer had two of them in idetical condition. Their serial numbers werevery close together but not consecutive. He finally agreed to sell them both for $ 700. Since I love S&W Nframes I bought them both. I guess I may have to change my user name to 'Two Gun Hard Ball."

I looked up the Model 520 kn Jim Supica's Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson at the local library. Supica says "DEveloped for the New York Stae Police but never delivered. 3,000 manufactured in 1980. Estimayed value New in box in 1996 $400. Supica's book is excellent so I have ordered a copy.
