Collectors look for two things, all matching serial numbers when it applies, (means all original) and a good bore, preferably a shiny bore. That's what brings top dollar on a gun in good condition like this one.

 

I don't know much about this genre of guns but it looks to be worth $300 on the low all the way up to $600-$700 on the high. Probably somewhere in between is correct. Keep in mind gun shops are as bad as car dealerships when it comes to buying and trading.

 

Not sure I want to sell it. More curious about it then anything.

 

I do have several guns, and shoot regularly, but I'm not really a collector type of person.

 

Would probably rather have something I would use.

There is a book out there called the gun bible. It will give you the ability t Lo look up the gun and get a pretty good idea of the value. It is rather expensive but has a lot of information.

CWB, I would take down the serial number photo that you have posted. There are scammers out there!

 

These old S &W revolvers have become very popular the last couple years.

 

Without a close inspection My guess would be $600-1000. Retail.

Never really thought about that. Can't say I know how to take a picture down.

 

Can one of the Mods help out.

Report the pic and ask a mod to take it down.

Thanks to The Sherriff I now know a lot more about it.

 

It is a 1905 M&P 4th change, manufactured in 1927-28. There were over 600,000 of these manufactured, 450,000 were the 4 th change (1915-1945).
