It is a .38 DA Third Model or Fourth Model. If the serial number is 322,701 or higher it is a Fourth Model and was made between 1895 and 1909. If lower, made before 1895. The finish looks to be original and very good. My guess on value is $300-400. I can't comment on the leather, but it could be worth plenty.

Thank you for the clarification

No doubt it's original nickel. Your value estimate comes as a surprise.
We would like to know more about the leather. Anyone??
The holster is a Model 21 "Blazer' made by S&W for a number of Single Action revovlers - Colt New Frintier, Dakota, High Standard, etc . circa late 1970s - thru 1980s. It's smooth Russet leather. Value in used condition about $10-$20 at most gun shows. Ed.

Yes, it cleaned up nicely. According to the Roy Jinks book the serial numbers went to 539000 for Fourth Models so yours is a fairly late production example.
Need model and age estimates
