Miroku .38 4" revolver

AirCommando

A friend has one of these, 98%, and wants to try and sell it. We have only a little knowledge about this gun, and would like to get an estimate of how much it may be worth. Can anybody help? I saw one listed on GB with a starting bid of $200 and a reserve. His gun is just like that one, same condition.

Please give us the auction link, or the auction number. Best if you check the sold Miroku's. You can do that through the "smart search" function at the top of any auction page. That will really tell you what they are selling for.

A picture of your gun would be best. Top of this forum tells how to get photos onto this forum. Thanks, Joe

EDIT:

Looks like any more than $250 will garner no interest in your revolver (I found mostly zero bids at that price). Link below is to the highest one that sold. And, yes, I found it by using the "smart search" function. Best, Joe

EDIT 2:

AC..Your friend may be correct about the rarity factor. The inexpensive selling price is probably due to lack of interest to the buying public-at-large. Again, best, Joe

I tried to find the sold ones, but couldn't find out how. Anyway, here is his.

Thanks Joe! Appreciate it. My friend thought it could be more because of the fact the Japan didn't export these or something like that, so they were pretty rare. That's why I joined here. Well worth the cost of admission! Thanks for the tip about the "smart search", so that's how you do it!

Well, Joe, here is one of those Liberty Chiefs. Of course, it isn't sold yet.
