I would like to know when this revolver was manufactured and its approximate value. S/N is S842744.

It is in very good condition and shoots very accurately (it was well maintainted as both my Grandfather's service revolver as a policeman and later by my Dad, who used as a deputy and for competition shooting).

Top barrel – SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS. U.S.A.
PATENTED FEB. 6, 06, SEPT. 14, 09, DEC. 29, 14.
Sight – Half Moon
Left frame (under extractor) L 15643
