Value of S&W Police issue 38 special, service date 1950's

I'm trying to figure out the value of a blue steel, .38 cal, revolver. At one time I had NRA and Smith letter ref serial numbers, etc. Can anybody give me a ballpark ? I'd like to sell it. BTW. it does shoot and is accurate.

That describes several hundred thousand S&W revolvers and isn't much to go on.

It's most likely a .38 Military & Police/Model 10, the most common police issue revolver of the time, so it all comes down to condition. It could be a heavily worn-down $250 shooter or a nice collectible worth $500 or more. Pictures would help.

Please post images if possible. Do you know which department issued the weapon ?
