    We would either need photos, or a very specific physical description. Noting if it's factory original and cosmetic condition.

    That said, the early alloy frame Sentinels such as yours, don't bring in a lot of money, even in excellent condition.

    Sentinels in teh R-101 series were offered with blued steel barrel and cylinder parts and black dyed anodized aluminum frame and grip frame or in nickel finish on the barrel, cylinder, frame and grip frame. There wereno Production Sentinela at any time period that were stainless or that had stainless barrels.

    Condition is the key to value. A serial number can be used to determint the original factoru finish type.

    the frame is blued steel and the barrel is nickel finish....the serial # is 758379. It is in pretty good condition, but you can tell it has been used. I have 2 pics but it will not allow me to paste them into this message??

    If it's marked "R-101"? the frame is made out of aluminum, you can verify this with a magnet. I have a original R-101, the finish on the frame and barrel, should be the same. Since there not, it's a indication that some shade tree gunsmith, has been bubbaing it. This would have a negative effect, on it's already minimal value.
