Well with the gun buying frenzy going on it's probably worth more now but last year they were a $350 to $375 rebvolver in very good condition as there are tons of them out there.
A super clean 4 inch which I prefer for $375

Mickey D and fyimo, thanks for the input. Beautiful pieces, both.
Does anyone know if the 5" tapered barrel ever came in a round butt configuration? I know the 4" did, though it doesn't seem in great numbers.

My 10-5 "round butt" 6 inch
Does anyone know if the 5" tapered barrel ever came in a round butt configuration? I know the 4" did, though it doesn't seem in great numbers.[/QUOTE]
Actually just puttin' you on a bit. I picked up this 10-5 at a LGS in a two-fer deal as I wanted the 4-inch 33-1 he had taken in from the same customer. LGS wanted them both gone and made an offer I couldn't refuse.
The customer he got them from had modified (i.e., nearly ruined) both by modifying the grip portion of the frame on each. LGS claimed the customer had huge hands and wanted a round butt on the 10-5 and so ground the frame and had drilled the bottom of the 33-1 frame to make some sort of extended grip fit. In the process he no doubt hurt the value of ea. revolver. The LGS wouldn't even put them out in his display case. Both came to me without any grips.
A crying shame the previous owner "modified" the revolvers that way. I put a set of aftermarket square butt grips on the 10-5 that covers the modified grip portion of the frame and they fit OK with no looseness. The rest of the 10-5 is in great shape, well above 90% I'd guess as bluing shows no wear and there is no wear line on the cylinder.
Similarly I had to put a set of Pachmeyer rubber grips on the 33-1 to cover the holes drilled in the bottom of the grip frame.
The 33-1 is the 'keeper' out of the two as I really like the J frame revolvers and have been gathering dies and brass for reloading the 38 S&W.
The future of the 10-5 is up in the air for now. It doesn't take up much space but Model 10s are just not my cup of tea.

Speaking of the gun buying frenzy. Monday I go into the LGS. The shelves are bare. I'm talking to the owner and he shows me a 10-5 he had just brought into the store. A very nice clean gun. Great lock up and timing. One flaw. The owner had sawed the barrel off just in front of the ejector rod. I aksed the dealer about it and he said he was going to fix it prior to selling. Yesterday I got to thinking about it and called the store to tell him I wanted it. You know the story. Too late. Even guns with sawed off barrels are getting tough to get. Things are bad.

If you can find a "pencil barrel Model 10" at any price grab it as it is the most rare of S&Ws. Standard barrel S&Ws and taper barrel S&Ws are all over the place, but a pencil barrel model would be a fabulous find.

My wife made an even-up trade of her model 10-15 heavy barrel 4 inch for this near mint 10-6 5 inch last spring. Shoots as good as it looks. I added the target stocks.

Are you sure this is a 10-6 and not a 10-5? The barrel looks tapered to me and the 10-6, by definition, has a heavy barrel.

The frame is marked 10-6.
I'm sure it was yet another mis-stamp at the factory as there is no evidence of the barrel being changed. The gun was a bank manager's desk gun. Looked un-fired.
I do know one thing, my wife only paid $350 OTD for the 10-15 she traded and she got a steal on this 5 incher. LGS did it because he knew the newer HB revolver would sell fast where this would sit waiting for someone like my wife.

Well then, how much is a 5" transitional worth?

The rare pencil barrel model shoots #2 lead.

For all you new guys out there, I'm afraid the SaxonPig is spreading it pretty thick. "Pencil barrel" and "tapered barrel" are other names for the "standard barrel". The other barrel type on the Model 10 is the "Heavy Barrel", as found on the 10-6. I have also seen the AR barrels referred to as "pencil" for standard barrel.
