S&W M&P 38 spl. revolver
Need some info on an old S&W revolver that I've been looking at.
The Seller says: Smith & Wesson 38 M&P Pre War model 5 screw 5" barrel diamond grips, 85% blue all original ser. # 3996** (I wasn't aware that S&W made 5" models back in the 30s.) Any info as to the date of manufacture and relative worth is greatly appreciated. He's asking $250. Thanks Harley, and to all! have tape, ol' dad needs a nice Christmas present...

#241704-1000000; 758,296 manufactured. 1915-1942, so a guess might be in the early 20's. Five inch guns were made from 1899 onwards. Standard Catalog shows $250 (Excellent), $175 (VG)
