Since mine 35368 is Nickel but not the first recorded as shipped I am guessing it still has some value. Based upon previous posts it looks like Tonawanda PD got this in June maybe.

I grew up in Tonawanda and was born in June so to think this was given to the PD in my birth month (not year) and my home town makes it even more special.

I am curious what this is worth. It is 95% easy. Some freckles but no rust - some flaking under the grips. Grips are not numbered to the gun however. The rifling is crisp and looks like its never been fired but I know it has. I cleaned off the powder burn rings and the cylinder looks great.

I am not sure I would want to shoot this. But I do want to insure it.

I got this excellent example of a 38/44 for $550 total from a closing LGS who I believe did not know what they had. It was surrounded by plastic pistols and stood out so I took a look and realized what I had.
