Hi all.
Title says it all. I'd like to know how much I can sell this gun for. Got it from here as a part of trade. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the pics -

I'm thinking less than $200 because of the poor shape.

Hy Hunter Firearms Company, Inc. had offices in Hollywood and Burbank, California. During the 1960s They were the importers and distributors of a wide variety of cheap West German firearms including the Frontier Six Shooter, Western style single-action revolvers manufactured by Rohm, the Detective and Chicago Cub, several other models of low quality West German .22 pocket revolvers, and the Maxim, Militar, Panzer, Stingray, and Stuka pistols, also manufactured by Rohm.

References do not list a Hy Hunter chambered in .44 Magnum but it is a good bet that your revolver was manufactured by Rohm GmbH of Sontheim/Benz, who manufactured a large range of revolvers for import to the US prior to the gun control act of 1968 when restrictions on handgun dimensions severely curtailed importation. Due to their inferior quality, there is no collectors interest in Rohm firearms and values tend to fall in the $100.00 or less range.

I would probably give you $50 for it. Cheap design, not sought after, really bad shape (does it shoot even?) all take it down to being worth not so much.
