I just got a S&W model 10 #V968**. Any info about it would be appreciated.

It's a Victory made in August or September of 1942. They're really coming out of the woodwork!

I have just aquired a .38 Chiefs Special, Model 36-1, Blue finish, Round butt, 3inch barrell, Serial # 462XXX, and I am trying to figure out info such as the date of manufacture, how much it is possibly worth, etc.

It was made in the mid-1960s; it's in the middle of the 1962-1969 range. The 3" barrels are worth more than the 1-7/8" (aka 2") barrels because they're much less common. In my area, it would probably be $425-$475 LNIB, $300-$375 in very good shape, $250-$300 for a slightly beat-up "shooter". Add a slight premium for a flat cylinder latch (used until 1966), and if it has an adjustable rear sight, the value will nearly double.
