Help with M37

[carlson1]

I am about to purchase a S&W M37, but I had a couple of concerns. It is a Smith & Wesson, Model 37 (no dash), 38 Special, Air weight, with flat cylinder latch. The serial number is 1972xx. He said he purchased it in 1962. Could anyone tell me when it was originally made and if it came with the "brass screws." You can see in the picture they appear to be brass?

Looks like someone gold plated your screws. It definitely didn't come that way. Fortunately, blue screws are easy to find.

That was my thought. I am seriously the thinking about going ahead and buying it. It isn't a great price, but an okay price. It is a toss up between this and a M60 I found.

What is the asking price for the 37, with gold screws?

$500.00. One owner and of course shot very little. Box and the goodies from the old days in the box.

They still make m60s but they don't make nice looking 50 something year old flat latch 37s with the box and accessories!

Screws are a couple of bucks apiece.

Toss up between this and a M60 in the same great shape. The M60 is less so I am having a hard time choosing. Can't afford both.
