Re: .38 SPL Colt Offical police
Having serial #489938 makes it made in 1923 (486000 - 501999).
Also it is an "Army Special Model" and/or "Officer Model" not an "Official Police". If the barrel is marked "Official Police", the revolver has been re-barreled. Its value will depend on what it actually is, what part of the country you are in, and how badly someone wants it. If it has not been rebarreled, etc. A gun shop is likely to offer $100 to $250. A gun shop selling it might ask $800 or more. I suggest that you go to several of the Internet gun auctions see what is being asked and actually bid for similar items.
