A fella showed me a couple of "family guns" he'd inherited. One I could identify as a Safety Hammerless, aka New Departure Double Action. .38 S&W, 5" barrel. While most of the nickel finish is gone, there's no rust, pitting, nor dings/scratches. Any idea on value? SN 12x,xxx. Year made? The owner wants to shoot it. How hard should I work at discouraging him?
The other revolver is also a .38 tipup, double-action w/3" barrel, in about the same not-much-nickel condition. It has no trigger guard. SN 60,xxx. Any idea as to whatzit? Horseback guesstimates on value?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Art
