Funny thing about guns. They're a lot like potato chips. You can never have just one.

But few potato chips increase in value as they age. Dinot bold font free download mac. In fact, I would argue that older potato chips decrease quite quickly in value. And taste. Guns? They never go stale.

Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson

Model: Model 41

Caliber: .22 pistol

Value: $1,007.50

My chosen firearm is a Smith & Wesson Model 41 .22 pistol. The Model 41 is the Cadillac of .22 handguns and dominated bullseye matches for decades. The Model 41 is a timeless classic handgun whose quality construction, excellent finish, and superior accuracy make it an instant heirloom. They just don’t make guns like this anymore.

My Model 41 has a serial number in the 20,000 range, which makes it a very early example (1959-1960). It has a 7 3/8-inch barrel without compensator. A pre-1978 gun, it has a cocking indicator. The gun is in overall good condition with some scratches, but no rust or pitting. Based on the standard percentage grading system, I’d rate it at 90 percent. There is a fairly large chip in the checkered walnut grip.

“Produced continuously since 1957, Smith & Wesson's iconic Model 41 .22 caliber match target pistol is as relevant and competitive today as it was nearly six decades ago,” said Adam Burt of Blue Book of Gun Value. “Collectors also like this model because of all the variations available, including different barrel lengths, sights, grips, markings, and both standard and optional features.”

Prices have really shot up on these guns lately. According to Blue Book’s site, a Model 41 in 90 percent condition is worth $775. The site tells you to add 15 to 40 percent for early versions with the cocking indicator, which my gun has. We’ll split the middle and add 30 percent, bringing the value up to $1,007.50. True price is determined by what the market will bear, but $1,000 is a good estimate. I’ve owned this gun a few years and paid far less than it's value. Doesn’t matter, though. I’ll never sell it.
