Purchased a new Model 638-2 .38Spl +P Airweight Bodyguard revolver several years ago, and it's been sitting in my safe ever since. It's LNIB, never fired, and does not have the Internal Lock.

Can you please help me determine it's value?

TIA!

The new ones with the lock can be had for around $400.

I would venture to guess a pre-lock would fetch $ 450 - $ 500, but I am not 100% sure.

If you are looking to sell, the Classified section of the forum would be a good place to start.

I had one and stupidly sold it. I would love to find one again.

I agree with WJR, 450-500.

You need to enjoy it!! It is a great little revolver. I am still aggravated that I sold mine and I am looking for one to replace it.
