Typically chambered in .357 Magnum, it features a 4-inch barrel, adjustable sights, and a stainless steel finish. The value of a new-in-box (NIB) model can vary based on market demand, rarity, and condition, but it generally ranges from $800 to $1,200 or more, depending on specific features and collector interest. Always consult recent sales or auction results for the most accurate valuation.

As you have noted, this revolver is quite rare- they were withdrawn from production as the gun was breaking from the force of the .357 Magnum loads. For this reason, it is very difficult to price using comparable sales. A LNIB Lew Horton Boa would probably auction at between $8,000 and $10,000. In collectable guns, condition is everything and will heavily affect value. BTW, there were only 600 made in 4 inch- the other 6oo were 6 inch.

It is possible (not certain, possible) that yours may be one of 500 made as a special production for Lew Horton. It would be worth contacting Colt for more information. If so, rather rare pistol.
