I have a pressing want for a Kirk style revolver
so I am thinking this may well be farmed out to help pay for one
Heck, I might wind up doing the same with my 300 Savage too
Going rate for a 92?

I have a 92 in 44-40, made in the teens, greyed finish, nasty notch out of the buttstock, and the bore is rough but shoots Jacketed well enough

That depends if it is a pre-1898 one that would be classified as an antique in the US. I was just looking at the Bud Haynes auction results, at a few '92 actual prices realized. They ranged from $375 for a 92 44-40 to $800 for a nicer button mag 44-40. In the condition you describe, I'm guessing $400-$500. Be sure to PM me when you're ready. I may be able to point you in the right direction for a purchase of an antique S&W.
While the Madis book indicates that the '92 produced 80% of the rifles in 44 WCF, it seems that for some reason the rifle configuration is hard to find. I have '92's in the rifle in all other calibers, but the 44 keeps eluding me for a reasonable price. Oct. Bbl, Crescent BP, and Full Mag is rather hard to find in shootable condition for some strange reason....
