If the weapon is old/scarce?? You would do better on one of the manufacture fora. Collectors flock together and do not commonly make wild BS appraisals, as they are watching each other. You do need clear sharp pictures of the weapon and any factory stuff(box, paperwork, receipts, tools) that came with the weapon.

Also, a letter to the manufacture's historian might help. S&W's, Roy Jinks has access to all the serial/model/sales/shipping data going back to the Civil War.
I think they charge 50USD, but factory letters are invaluable when pricing old toys..
My 1st stop would be the gunbroker completed auction,, only the ones that were actually sold.
