About $300 to $400 depending on condition.
There were/are a lot of model 64 police turn-ins that can be had for around $300 though they tend to be cosmetically challanged. Jim |

Yes, the handle has been replaced on this gun, some scratching, but good firing and condition.

686 dash nothing?
Bought from a pawn broker for $475, an 80% gun in my uneducated opinion. It was too much like exactly what I wanted!
AAD56xxx Looks like '80 or '81? |

chiefs special airweight
Picked a nice little shooter up - I think it is a pre model 37 chiefs special airweight. 3 inch barrel, has a lot carry rub off the frame, and a little freckling on the cylinder. But she locks-up tighter than a drum

Re: early Chiefs Airweight
Quote:
Roy Jinks says the change occurred at about s/n 35000. SCSW says examples with alloy cylinders have been found as high as s/n 44577. A total of 3,777 were made with the alloy cylinder. Some of those which were damaged had their cylinders replaced with steel cylinders by the factory. A check with a magnet should quickly show whether yours has the steel or alloy cylinder. If it is alloy, both Jinks and SCSW say not to shoot it. Depending on condition, models with alloy cylinders may bring a premium with collectors. |

Re: Chiefs air weight
Thanks Jim and Dave!
Year one Airweight, too bad she wasn't in a little better shape. As it is she will have a pampered life being carried once and a while, with a regular trip to the range. Dave I had checked the cylinder (it is steel) once I heard about the alloy. I would guess she was sent back to the factory for a replacement and a trigger job (like butter it is...). Again, thanks guys! |

The Airweight Chiefs is a nice carry gun. It was a favorite of Bill Jordan, who knew a thing or two about revolvers. Good to know this nearly 60 year old revolver will continue doing the job for which it was made. |

Airweight .38 SPL S&W
I just got this gun from a buddy of mine. His great aunt carried it in her purse for years. I have no idea what year this gun was made or a current value. Any help would be appreciated.I believe it say MOD-37 once I drop the cylinder out and the serial number on the butt is 412367.
What I am really concerned about is whether or not I can shoot modern ammunition through it or not. CS |

SN's ran from 295000 in 1962 to 786544 in 1969. About $350 to $400 depending on condition. Modern ammo is just fine. Quote:
