The first question would be, what kind of money are you talking? It is hard to tell from the photos, but the side finish looks rather bumpy. Could be my monitor but looks rough from here. It's a neat old gun and the M&P will always be considered the bread and butter gun in the S&W line. They have made millions of them and even stole the name for one of their modern lines. I probably wouldn't put more than $150 to $200 into it unless there is something special about it's history.
