Detective Special

[Shooter 50]

Hello,
I have a nickel Detective Special. Serial # is 416258.
I was wondering what the manufacture date might be.
Thanks for the help.

Thank you very much!!!! I appreciate your response. I estimate it is about 80 % any guess on what it might be worth?

I'll WAG it. If NO flaking of the nickel,has original grips,probably square-butt,around $600-$700,maybe more to the right buyer. JMO

1933 is pretty early. 1927 was the first year.
