Brought this gun home recently.It's a model 10-6 in nickel with a heavy barrel.the bore is fantastic.It locks up very tight and shoots like a dream.The balance of this gun amazes me.I have included some pictures but my phone camera is lacking great quality and it's super difficult to get good pictures of nickel guns.It has a 4 inch barrel and the serial number is D5383** .I really don't know whether to keep this gun or trade it,it looks to me to be an excellent example but I really like N frame guns and magnums.I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some history on this model and also a value for it.Thanks in advance.

Somewhere between 1968-1977, I'm thinking. An expert will come along shortly and tell you what the 'smith had for lunch on the day it was born.

Most likely 1973.

Below is one I bought about ten years ago for $250 out the door. It had been fired with a lot of lead bullets, but it cleaned up into Like New condition. In today's market, I think it would sell for $400 to $500. Not that I would sell it at that price.

I am not that crazy about nickel, but it is a great shooter. I would probably trade it for a blued M13 in similar condition. Otherwise, I will just keep it.

You can always keep it know you have a fine gun then sell or trade when that special one comes along. Enjoy having an m10. Lots of history with that model

Keep it. If you sell it you will be sorry. The 10-6 is a classic in its own right. Plus if it shoots good, it should be a keeper.
