Colt DA 38 value

[raggs]

I just got handed down a Colt DA 38. Used to be my Grandfathers pistol. Im trying to figure a value on it. It's blued with a XXXX serial
number on the frame.

According to the Colt serial number site, it comes up as a 1905 Police Positive or a 1908 Police Positive Special & Detective Special.

From the research I've done, there is a Police Positive & Bankers Special, it matches the pics I've run across on the web. The
Detective model from the pics looks to have a "fatter" frame.

It's got different numbers on the butt, release, and frame leading me to believe this has been rebuilt a time or two.

The kicker, stamped in the butt is "W.F. & Co". Wells Fargo & Company.

Can any of you folks put an approximate value on the pistol? Any help appreciated.

Without pics it could be any amount. Mostly I've seen them on auction sites at about $300.00.
