saw a NIB model 33 today, 4" .38 spcl -- looked absolutely pristine. don't remember the serial number though. dealer wanted $400. would possibly go for $375. Seems a bit high. what do you guys think? I read somewhere that model 33s were discontinued in the early '70s.
Also saw a 36, 3" .38 spcl. it was slightly used- -perfect bluing except for two small scratches. no other blemishes. serial was J992xxx. dealer wanted $350. Any ideas on the age of this revolver?
I liked both of them but was kinda set back by the prices. I don't know that much about smith revolvers in general, but thought these two were about $50-$75 too high.
Any of you guys care to share your thoughts?
