Any idea of the value. Is this considered a collector's gun?
My Dad really liked it and had it for more than 30 years?
There is a 6-digit serial number on the bottom that starts wiht C824 and is located on the bottom of the handle.
I think I have attached pics..
Please advise if you have any info on this gun.
Thanks.

You have a nickeled Model 10-6 heavy barrel revolver. These 4"-barreled guns were very popular (both nickeled and blue) with police agencies before semiautomatics became standard. Yours was probably made in the early 1970s. They are quite common and not collector's items unless in as new condition. Should be worth in the $250-$300 range in original very good condition. The aftermarket grips and worn condition on this one detract from value somewhat. Best kept as is as a nice sentimental inheritance from your dad. Hope this helps.

P.S. Here is one of mine with a "D" prefix serial number, from a police department, bearing factory stocks.
