Merwin Hulbert .38
A coworker brought a revolver in to work to show me; turns out it's a Merwin, Hulbert & Co. Pocket .38 model. I took a few pictures of it, the serial number is 1373 and as you can see the nickel finish is kind of rough. The single-action notch on the hammer must've sheared off as it will only operate in the DA mode - timing and lock-up seem OK. The left grip panel down at the butt has a chunk out of it and the barrel near the muzzle was pretty rusty, however balance of the 3.5" barrel is OK as are the cylinder chambers. The gun belongs to my coworker's friend, who found it wrapped up in a sock in an old shoebox. I've offered to buy it and want to give a fair price. Any idea on the value and when it was made, the serial number seems pretty low...
