I think the combination of a 4" barrel, Nickel finish is fairly rare. I would guess closer to $1000 retail. Maybe $700 wholesale if you were to sell it to a dealer.

Thanks again.
OK, how about a nickel 2.5" 19-5 in excellent condition. I'm just curious about the P&R Vs non-P&R in same condition.
When it comes to vintage S&W revolvers, I'm definitely a P&R fan. Right or wrong, I tend to believe that P&R revolvers are manufactured with a little more attention than later versions of the same revolvers. It may just be the earlier dates of manufacture reflect the skills and dedication of the S&W workforce at the time. Or it could be the change in corporate philosophy to reduce production costs (which sometimes affects quality control) by eliminating the unnecessary pinned barrels and recessed cylinders. Who knows for sure? With that said, I don't believe that there would be much of a price difference (if any) between a minty nickel 19-4 snubby and a minty nickel 19-5 snubby. They are both beautiful vintage revolvers. Only someone like me with OCD might differentiate between the two.
No offense intended, but, unless the photos are poor, the finish non the OPs gun looks a little less than perfect. I think it's a $700 gun. To get to $1000, that nickel needs to be shiny.
As to Retired W4's question, a 2-3/4" nickel 19-5 is probably a $1000 gun, Maybe a buck or two more.

Model 19
Just picked up a 2.5" Model 19 nickel. Ended up paying $980.
Not sure about the longer barrel 19's but the snubs are running
between $950 and $1050 on the ones I have been tracking.
here are a few from my collection,
19-2 19-4 19-5 19-6 19-6
