My grandfather left me a BEAUTIFUL nickle plated .38 special. Unfortunately I don't know much about it. Walnut grips, 6 inch barrell, no model number (which leads me to believe it was made prior to 1952).
The serial number is C 272495. It truly is in really nice condition; not quite mint, but really nice. I think it's a military/police issue, but I'm not sure.
While I'm not interested in selling it because of its sentimental value, I would be interested to know if it's worth anything for insurance purposes.
I attached some photos in the hopes that someone might be able to give me some background and a "bset guess" value. Thanks.
