I just picked up a S&W 5906, serial #VCH9xxx

The
Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson isn't very complete when it comes to later date semi autos. That said, the 5906 was made from 1989 to 1999. S&W started using the "V" prefix serial numbers on them starting 1994.

serial number C 209258. On the barrel it says ".38 S&W special ctg".

SN's ran from C1 in 1948 to C223998 in 1951 so yours is likely 1951.
It is a .38 Military and Police postwar (pre model 10).
S&W made a bazillion of them so prices range from a couple hundred (beat-up) to $500 or so like new.
