A friend of mine carried one as his duty weapon some years ago.
I generally don’t care for commemoratives, but I’d make an exception for that one.

What’s not to like? A 19-3 with no bling, a nice knife, and a beautiful case.
I however sometimes gently carry more expensive or rare S&W’s. I can no longer afford safe Queens, but if I had the funds I’d have a boat load collecting dust. That doesn’t change the value of your friends gun. I still say around $700. Maybe a bit more.

I’d place that gun into the nice carry gun category, and shoot it a lot, or a little, depending on the owners circumstances.
