I am finding values all over the place ($600-$1000) so I could use some help. I have a first model New Departure .32 S&W SN# 351XX in what I consider to be superb condition. Nickel is bright and shiny with very little in the way of scratches/wear/bubbles. This is the best I've seen except for one I saw new in the box once. It is also fully functional.
Once I can determine a reasonable price I'll put it up for sale.
(Can't find where/how to upload photos which would be a big help, I'm sure! Uploaded photos once before, but don't remember the procedure.)

Value depends on the barrel length. If you have a 2 inch, or less, barrel that is verified by a factory letter, value would be about $3,000 or so. If it's a 5 or 6 inch barrel, probably $1,000. Any standard 3 1/4 or 4 inch barrel, then probably $300 to $400 range, assuming it's not a refinished gun.
I shouldn't be correcting Ed because he has more S&W knowledge in his left little finger than I have in my white haired old head. But, I believe Ed missed the 32 in the first post. The standard barrel lengths would be 3 and 3 1/2 inch.
