This was a gun my father inherited and then I inherited. It is a Smith and Wesson with #'s on the butt and bottom of barrel B5209XX. The crane area has markings 73215. The caliber listed on the side is 38 special and has a 6" barrel.

Looking for info on its age, since I am in California, and is this a desirable or collectable gun or just a gun to use.

I have several newer 38 specials that he used for competition that I now use to shoot regularly, so this is just an extra to me and holds no sentimental value.

It is what I would say is average shape. Value?

Thanks
