Year and value please?View attachment 947454 View attachment 947455 View attachment 947456
Aside from the grips, the condition looks pretty good, but it is not a super-rare model. Figure $400ish.Thank you gentlemen. What do you think the value might be?
You can try to get a factory letter, but IIRC, their records are pretty shoddy on the K-frame .38s like the M&P and Model 10- and its not cheap.Is there a way to find out where it went from the factory and what year?
Honestly, it would make a practical and effective weapon for an inexperienced, perhaps first time gun owner looking for a home defense gun.Thanks again for all of the responses here. I appreciate your help. Are there places where someone might be able to sell this type of pistol to someone that appreciates it and not some housewife freaking out about the riots? I have no use for it and was not close to my Grandfather nor were any of his heirs. He was not a nice person.
Any recommendations on a sale site or location would be greatly appreciated.
