It is a Military & Police and was made sometime between 1948 and 1952.
The barrel is probably 4" long, you measure from the front face of the cylinder to the muzzle, not the front of the frame.

I won't guess a dollar value because, first, I haven't seen the gun or even a picture, and second, because you say it is not for sale it doesn't matter.
