I have a model 36 with nickel finish. I found S&W made these little suckers with this finish, but have been discontinued for a while. Does anybody know how much do there revolvers cost on the street, and if they have any collector's value?
You'd have to give us a lot more info (SN and a photo or a MUCH more detailed description of its features) for us to be able to give you true guidance as to value and collectablity.
There were lots and lots of nickel 36s made. That alone doesn't make the gun collectible or add much value to it.
FWIW, I've recently seen a nickel Chief's Special in good shape selling used for $395. I'm sure it sold fairly rapidly for between that and $350.
