I have a S&W 38 SPL CTG airweight serial no. 703xxx model 37 it has silver grips with gold inlays. I know nothing about this gun, it was given to me from collection of a dear friend. Any info would help on value and age so I can price it. Not sure how to post photos.Thanks for any help you can give.

You can check ebang.com to see if any similar revolvers are listed. A local gun shop and also help you determine the value. Hard to do much more with out pics. My standing offer of $50 is always available....LOL

thanks for the info and I will keep that 50 in mind......NOT lol

A quick look at completed Gunbroker auctions shows Model 37's selling for $300-$500. A lot depends upon condition and accessories such as box, paperwork, original grips, etc... To me, if it came from a "dear friend" the gun would be priceless...

Two ways to post photos.
1. When posting a reply, there’s a “manage attachments” button near the bottom of the page. It allows you to browse your hard drive and attach a copy of the picture file to your post.

Your Chiefs Special Airweight is from the mid to late 1960’s. The grips sound aftermarket and may have been made in Mexico ( typically stamped with the country of origin on the back). If the grips are what I think they are, they generally sell for around $150 by themselves. FYI, you could put period correct S&W Magna stocks on the gun for around $25.

This model was offered with 2” and 3” barrels, in nickel or blue and with a round or square butt grip frame. The value depends mostly on the condition, but the configuration may come into play. One in nice shape is worth in the neighborhood of $325-$400 around here, a bit more if as new in the box with all the original goodies. Dont forget about your potential grip value. Photos are important!

Frankly, if it came from a dear friend, I would think the sentimental value would far exceed the few hundred dollars you’d get selling it.

Classy BBQ gun.

Picture worked fine. Nice grips. Interesting. I'd like to hold them. That's a good thing *S* Those grips might be more special than I think, but I'd have to value the gun and grips at least in the $300-500 area, more if the grips are "special" or precious metal.
