Okay, here's the usual story, I got a gun from my grandfather, and I was wondering, (it's total curiosity on my part) what it's history is, as well if it's worth anything.
It's obviously a S&W (Their logo, Springfield Massachusetts, and S&W are stamped all over it -handle and barrel-)
Behind the extractor rod, when I release the cylinder, it has "MOD. 19-2" written/engraved on it.
I'm really curious as to when this gun was most likely manufactured, and what it's value is. From wikipedia, it looks like it was made sometime between 1961 and 1966 so I *think* this is the correct forum to ask this, if not I apologize.
The condition of the gun: I would say it's in good condition, no scratches on the outside or rust. I keep it cleaned and lightly oil the surface. It still fires excellently in my opinion.
I'm most likely going to keep this gun, and pass it along to my future kids/grandkids someday.
Any information anyone on here has would be most appreciated.
Kind Regards.
