Hello S&W experts. I need a bit of help identifying a model 65-5 and determining its current value. It is a 3 incher. It does not have "stock" grips, but aftermarket "combat style" laminated finger-groove grips. It also has the number 259 stamped on the lower, left frame, just under the cylinder.
Inside of the yoke is stamped 745. I don't know the origin of this revolver and I'm not "up" on 65's. Does anyone know if these extra numbers are from the factory and what they mean? Also, what may be the value of this piece ? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
