I'm considering selling a pistol to help finance another (revolver), and thought I should check it's value before doing anything stupid.
It's a late 1930's manufactured S&W Military & Police model of 1905,4th change, original grips, in very good condition, but the folks I got it from at a gun show several years ago said they'd re-finished it with a phospate (parkerized) type finish. It's a black finish, though, and looks alot like the "black magic" finish Smith put on the old Victory models.
Any info much appreciated.....
