Many of the cheaper imports used markings like
BEST WHEN USED WITH SMITH & WESSON CARTRIDGES
to fool the unwary and lend a (generally unwarranted) level of prestige to an otherwise very cheap firearm. A top break revolver in the 1950s or '60s would probably be one of these cheaper imports. Sorry, but this is not the description of a valuable S&W unless there is a lot more to the story.
