Reputable S&W Appraisers
Hello all, new to this forum. I just purchased a beautiful S&W M-39 and I believe it's an all-steel frame. I was wondering if there's a reputable appraiser of S&W firearms other than the Blue Book for insurance reasons. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hello OP. Pics would help. Put a magnet on the frame. Any accessories with it? Box, paper, mags etc...? One just sold in the 60K Sn. range for mid $2000.

Contact David Carroll, Trussville, AL 35173. I believe his Forum ID is Wordsmith.

Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson 4th edition page 342 says "Steel frame guns fall in the range of 39000 and 60000-64000 and again from 81000 to 82000."
Did yours come with box/papers, and magazines with metal x-shaped followers? We would love to see some pics.

The difference in weight is easy to detect. If you have a 39-2 in one hand and this one in the other it should be evident. And of course the magnet test.

"adjective
held in good repute; honorable; respectable; estimable:
a reputable organization.
considered to be good or acceptable usage; standard:
reputable speech." Could be a tall order to fill.
