Greetings,
I'm thinking of offering my Model 38 for trade. I acquired it 8 or 10 years back in a trade. I had a 1985 manufacture date in my head but looking under the stocks this morning, it looks like a 4/78 date stamped on the right side of the frame. Pic attached. It doesn't actually have the "/" so maybe it's some other random number.
I'd also appreciate anyone's opinion of value. Pics aren't the best but should do. Definitely shows use, no crack under the barrel and the lockup is passably tight but not "like a bank vault".
ETA: Yes, yes, the serial ... ANP15xx
