NIB would be $2K, w/o box I'm not sure. Good luck in your sale.

Here's what they look like...

Would be surprised if there is any definitive info on their website. Best place to look would be the Standard Catalog, if you have one of those. There was a "Mountain Gun" and a similar "Mountain Revolver". They are lighter weight versions of pre-existing steel revolvers. Unlike the original...

That won't happen because it does not meet their definition of a MG. You have come up with your own definition, which is fine, but the characteristics which S&W chose for their MG are not found in the 329PD.

This is correct. Many people on internet forums incorrectly think the .38 Special ammo of yesteryear was superior to today's loads. I test old factory ammo as a hobby, and can tell you the earlier stuff was not as fast as it was represented to be.

Nice looking and appears to be in great shape. Not one of the earliest ones since the sights are not SS. A good score for sure!

I bought two when they were on sale. The wood grips look great but are noticeably bigger. One of mine is a "rattler".

Nice! Cherry's in Greensboro NC has a couple for sale in the 2K+ range. I passed up one for much less than that last year at a LGS, it had repro grips. I have plenty of original factory ammo.

Sounds a little high but not much. I plan on selling one of my two JM guns and back in August did a Gunbroker survey on actual sales. I tracked 7 guns similar to mine and the average selling price was $808. That is before the buyer paid for shipping and receiving.

The rifle in .243 has become very valuable. I've seen two sell at auction in PA and both were in the $1K neighborhood. There is a real following for them there, and calibers like .223, .222, 6mm, .243 etc. attract a lot of attention.

.30-06, .308, .270, .280, .35 Rem, but you will not find a carbine in .243.

I have Super 38s in the Colt and Sig platforms. Some people also shoot them in their .38 Special/.357 revolvers (yes, it works)...

I had that rifle in .22-250, purchased in early to mid-1970's that would literally shoot to the same hole at 100 yards time after time. Just one ragged hole.

It always amazes me when I shoot mine that .357 Magnum loads could produce almost no felt recoil. I don't shoot .38 Specials in it because the POI is so different that it is not worthwhile...

How about a Winchester M70 in .284Win? Don't see many of those. Maybe not old school enough for the discussion.
