Virginian or Viginian....you have 2 different spellings going

Edit 2: In 2009 there were 2 listed for around $400, I'd guess value to be $300-$400, but I've never seen them myself, so this is my unprofessional opinion.

My blue book says it is worth 100% $375.00 ,95% $275.00 ,90% $235.00 ,80% $215.00, 70% $190.00, 60% $180.00

They were stainless single actions rimfire and center fire revolvers from the 70's....Decent guns for the price....Have had a few over the years. One I sure wish I had back....

I have seen one once before in a gun store, I think it was priced around $350, and it didnt last long, though it was in a presentation case, and included a box of ammo.
When I asked my dad about them, he said as he remembered, they were an inexpensive way to get into a .44 mag, but were not even close in comparison to a Ruger, nor as sturdy as even a smith Model 29.

I picked one up about a year ago in 357 mag from the 70s. I absolutely love that gun. It has recessed cylinders and handles the mags quite well. I own a number of rugers-old models and new from single sixes-blackhawks and redhawks and would rate this Dragoon pretty close. They were imported by interarms at one time. I got mine for a tad under $300 in a trade with two extra sets of grips-Pachmayer and unknown by the previous owner a set of older Sambar Stags from Ajax Grips.I've been offered $450 but won't part with it. Grips are worth over $300 and it shoots like a dream. I'd post pics but don't what url I have. They are posted on the Smith & Wesson sight under other hand guns. In very good condition I wouldn't hesitate paying $300. Best regards

These guns are far underrated. I own two, have shot them a lot, and feel they have every bit the quality of rugers. Note, I also own and have owned several Rugers. Virginian Dragoons can be bought for $100.00 to $200.00 less than a Ruger and are every bit as good a quality.
