Help identify this railroad .38
The gentleman who wants $500 for this .38 Special said it belonged to his grandfather who was an inspector (agent) for the Lehigh Valley Railroad. It is nickel plated, although there appears to be no flaking, someone has attempted to clean certain areas with some kind of polish or mild abrasive. Stamped behind the crane above the assembly number is LVRR. You need a magnifying glass to see it, it is that small, but definitely clear. I think the barrel length is 6", although it may be a bit longer...I forgot to measure it...also forgot to note serial number. I think the serial number had 5 digits, and all numbers matched (below barrel, on cylinder and on grip frame. What model is this? About what decade was it made? Is $500 a good price? Thanks much
