A couple of S&w .38 spls. old school, but cool

It's a rare Pre-29 Five Screw with a 4" barrel.

Gave a Model 13 & a Model 36 to one of my sons, a Model 34 to a grandson, and sold a Model 10 (6" barrel) to my brother - so I only have 3 Smiths left:

My wife's boss has a Model 19 Combat Master 6" I'm trying to lay claim too. Only seen pictures so far but it looks minty.

My semi old book puts it's value at like 350 to 425 or so. He says it's perfect but I don't know if he had the box and stuff that came with it.

We joke each other a lot, I offered him a 100 bucks, no word back yet.

Anybody know what recent values might be on these? I've given away a few also and kind of need to restock.

Book price is just about right. I would guess @ 4 bills is fair for LNIB. Less if it has wear, no box, etc. Price is also relative to location too or how many available. Around here, not many if any. I can't find one.

Been trying ot replace at least one of 2 I had. I had to sell one kinda plain one that I bought used in a pawn shop, like new for 250 back in the mid 90s. There were plent to be had. Then I got one with all the Ts in a swap. My F in law just had to have it. So, I loaned it to him. After I sold mine and a few others during hard times, I thought I could just get that one back later. Well, a few months later he comes by asking if i had the gun cause he found the bag in his van and no gun. I asked him, "Why would I take the gun without the bag?" He and the M in law always had a bad habit of leaving their vehicles wide open wherever they went. So, I assume the Model 19 just walked off.

Yeah, I had to sell a few nice ones when I was forced to retire early. Had a 19, 15, 17, 37, 64, & a 66. Even had a Model 52 Target master auto pistol in .38 spl wadcutter only. Cried over that one, but I got what it was worth.

Nice pistolas Armybrat. Been wanting a humpback S&W for a while. I had a real beater for a good while that I got off an LEO some years back. It was the Airweight model and all the finish was worn. Kinda loose too, but it worked o.k. So, I painted the frame flat black and cold blued the barrel and cylinder. It served me well for several years back in the 90s.

Guy came into a show a couple of minths back trying to sell one for 4 bills in .38 spl. It was like new, but no box or papers. I only offered him 3 for it. He wouldn't drop down a nickle. Thought the price was too close to a new one at Academy Sports. Turned out I was right.
