A number of years ago I inherited my grandfathers service revolver. I have no intention of selling it but would like to know it's value and the history of the model. It is a 38 S & W Special CTG with a 4 inch barrel, steel lanyard ring and a fine checkered hammer. The serial number starts with an S and ends with either an 8 or B (I can't quite make it out). About 20 years ago I took it to a gun smith to have it reblued as it is worn and I wanted to protect the revolver, but he refused stating it was a "collectors" item and reblueing it would reduce the value. Any information would be welcomed.
Thank you!
