I believe so, yes.
It’s an early serial number ALU 0021

Those are nice and always on the wish list. But are usually priced just out of my budget range when I see them.

A large gun shop that I occasionally frequent has two 3 inch 624's and a 3 inch blue 24. They have $1295 on one 624 with "rubber" grips. The one with finger groove targets is $1395. The 24 is $1395. They have been there for a good while. As to what they are actually worth, apparently not worth what they are asking in this market as they have not sold.

I’m thinking $1,200.
Might as well post mine!

For whatever it's worth, I paid $1400 for this one (ALU5801) at a Rock Island auction last November. You might find one for less, probably not much less.

Oops, wrong thread for the picture.
OP, I bought mine off of GB a few years ago, it was mint condition with box and goodies. I can't remember what I paid for it.
It was a goodly sum, though.
Lew Horton 624 with my 66-1.

An original condition, early, nice and mechanically solid 3 inch 624 without the box and with rubber grips starts minimum at 1000.00 and goes up from there.

Never seen a 624 with a dash. I think they were a "one and done" model and took years to finally sell all of the original batch.

OK. This is not a model. I know anything about so that is good info. Thanks a friend of mine knows where one is and wants to get a value on it.

624's went up to -3 in 1993. The 5000 Lew Horton 624s had AHT and ALW prefixes. If it is a LH I have the contact info for the former COO of LH. For $60 you can get a Lew Horton LOA (letter).

I have seen LH go for $1600 with holster, etc. Sold one (gun only) to a friend last year for $1200.

Definitely $1000+ as mentioned grips ++ box would be +++

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

Ya don't have enough $$$ to buy these........All were plus-minus $400 when I bought them new.......Except the nickel 6 1/2 in........It was more.............I think any 24/624 would start at $1000 as a minimum and go up from there.

In sept. of 85, a 624 3" Lew Horton ALU0687, along with a pancake holster from Smith offered by Horton with it, came home with me. Total cost out the door $310. 5 years later, I sold it back to my dealer friend (for his personal gun) for what I paid for it. He didn't want the holster, as he had a shoulder rig for it , so I kept it. Still use it for my 624 4". When I look at current prices, I am thankful I kept my 24-3 3"Horton with hoster combo. Happy, I got to own the 624's and 24's (full set of each until other things called to me), that I got for great deals, thanks to him. I know he enjoyed the 624 till he passed and his kid is doing the so now.

I stand corrected. Thank You.

I was picturing in my mind the 6 1/2 inch models that I used to carry concealed. I forgot about the LH special runs.

Picked mine up a couple years ago, with the correct holster. Picked up a NOS holster along the way as well for whatever reason. Not my favorite S&W.

These 3" N-frames are one of my favorite S&W models and I have been following them on the online auction sites for several years. I purchased a 24-3 LH model on Gunbroker six years ago for $1150 with the box, tools and paperwork. At that time similar ones were selling for $1300+. Two years ago I bought a 624 (box but no tools or papaerwork) for $1350. Both revolvers were immaculate. Just a few days ago, a 24-3 without the Lew Horton grips (had an aftermarket plastic grip with a crack) hammered at $1775 which I thought was too high but apparently some people are willing to pay that price. Other listings with pristine finish, LH grips, box, tools and paperwork have been listed for $2000+ on GB, Gunsamerica, Guns International and other websites. If you come across one in decent condition still wearing the correct grips in the neighborhood of $1000 I would grab it. As far as the original S&W branded holster made for the 624 (BLW 624) they are hard to come by. There is a vendor on eBay selling one currently, new in the original package, for $215. Attached is an original magazine ad for the 624. I know its not very clear to read but it's the only copy I could find.

My 624 LH has an ALV prefix. I picked it up in November of last year along with this 1006 from a gentleman for $2000 cash for both. He even provided the letter from Earl. In the letter, Earl states that there were 7000 made. Here’s a copy of the ad also. Let’s see if it comes out clearer than SAPDretired’s copy. OP…on your value question, even without the box, tools and paperwork, I’d say $1400-$1500 easy.
