.38 Safety Fourth Model. Some 104,000 were made from 1898-1907, serial range 116003 to about 220000. The Safety models were also called the "New Departure" (by S&W) and "lemon squeezers" (by about everybody else).
With so many of that model made, value is generally low, but I would put that jewel at easily $600, maybe $800+ due to the long barrel and the grips, which I have little doubt are genuine mother-of-pearl.
Jim thanks very much, I payed 600$ for it , this kind of gun in this condition will sell for more here,the grips are real MOP
thanks again,appreciated
the other side of the gun
Real mother of pearl is transcendent, I have one set on a .45 that appears as if you could dip your finger in the surface. MOP is a thing of beauty, but fragile and getting more and more expensive every day.
real MOP is also heavyer ,and it doesn't smell like burned nylon ,
John thanks bro ,spent some time last week watching your video's
excellent shooting , my friend
reinhard. thank you. if only i could shoot as good on camera as i do when by myself id be wowing folks. kinda odd how that works... soon as someone's watching you start messing up.
the same here Jim, I am not realy an artist when it comes to shooting
seeing John in action with the snuby ,hitting the target would take me a few years I think
Jim,you give me way too much credit ,but thanks for the kind words
