S&W M43 DOB/price

[burrhead]

Just received a 4" flat latch S&W M43 from an elderly aunt of mine. She is the original owner and certainly carried it a fair amount but I don't believe shot it much. Got a little holster wear at the muzzel but otherwise nice shape; say 85-90%. S/N 72xxx.
Date of birth? Not for sale but value quesstament?
TIA

Looks to be around 1960 or so production. Value is somewhere between $250 to $350 depending upon region of the country and if all accessories are present.
