Colt Detective special 3" barrel

I ended up with the Colt 3" sometime back, and don't know a lot about them. As near as I can tell, it is a second series...as the grips are about 1/2 inch longer than the grip frame and there is a grove in the ejector rod. It has a serial number in the 92,000 range and I'm guessing about 1966 or so manufacture. It is not in new condition, but is in pretty darned good condition and I was wondering if anyone could give me a rough estimate of what it's' worth ? I would guess finish is around 95%.
