Can anyone help me? I just received a MOD-38 airweight from my father-in-law. I’m trying to find out what it is worth. I’m having trouble locating a value based on serial number. If someone has the resources to help it would be greatly appreciated.

Value depends on condition. $400 to $500 retail, a little more if you have the original box, paperwork and accessories.
Jim
Thanks again Jim.1996.
Jim
You would be correct. Serial numbers in 1952 ran from K136691 to K175637.serial number K 167xxx would be from what year? 1952?
Jim
Since S&W reused serial numbers across the model lines in the past, I'll need more info..38 S&W CTG; the serial number on the butt of the gun and the cylinder is 193XXX. No letters, only numbers.
Thanks
Is it .38 S&W or .38 S&W Spl (special)? Is it a 5 or 6 shot? Does the cylinder swing out to load or does the barrel tilt down?
Jim
That narrows it down to two..38 (not Special), 5 shot, barrel tilts down to load.
Thanks
If it has a hammer it would be a .38 Double Action 3rd Model. Serial numbers ran from 119001 in 1884 to 322700 in 1895.
If it is hammerless then it is a .38 Safety Hammerless 4th Model. Serial numbers ran from 116003 in 1898 to 220000 in 1907.

If this number (S80xxx) is also the same number stamped on the underside of the grip frame (you may have to remove the grips to see it) then it is not a model 19 but rather the larger framed model 357 Magnum. This later became the model 27 when S&W began using model numbers around 1957.Just got a s&w .357 mag revolver dont know anyhing about it.

A serial number of S80xxx would date it to 1950/51.

Awesome. The s80xxx is the same number stamped on the butt. So I’m definitely a little excited about this find.
That was S&W’s premier revolver for many years and being an early example (commonly refered to as a pre 27) is a desirable collector gun today.Awesome. The s80xxx is the same number stamped on the butt. So I’m definitely a little excited about this find.
