Anyone have a blue book of guns?

I should have one being an FFL but I do not. I'm trying to find the value of a Colt 41 single action made in 1906 (I called Colt and they looked up the serial number). It's in good shape but it was re-blued in the 50's. I cannot find any in similar condition to compare to and I have a customer that wants me to sell it for him. Any help would be appreciated.

Not the same, but made in 1900, see here:

This is what the on line version says about values. It doesn't cover reblued weapons. I tried to format the columns, but it didn't work. Only 4.5% were made in .41 caliber.
Ser. Nos. 182,000 - 300,000 (Mfg. 1899 - 1908)
Grading 100% 98% 95% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10%
N/A $25,000 $18,000 $13,500 $9,000 $7,500 $6,000 $5,000 $4,000 $3,200 $2,500 $2,000
Add 25% for original box.
Subtract 25% for nickel finish.
