Hello and Welcome to the Forum,
Your 16-4 is from 1989 and your 14-3 is from 1971. The 14-3 is an 8 3/8" vs the 8 1/4" as stated. I own one as well. Without pic's it's tough to grade and place and value on them. Have a look on gunbroker at completed listings, that should give you an idea of similar condition pieces and current values.

Thanks a lot for info. I have looked this week at getting a standard catalog of smith &wesson but just haven't put one on order. My father use to have a great deal of info for us but he passed about a year ago...I miss him greatly, but these were some in his collection. Thanks again!

The 16-4 has a pretty reasonable value if in good condition. The 14-3 somewhat less but both depend on condition. Posting a few clear pictures of each gun would help.

The 8 3/8" model 14s are bucking the current trend of more expensive shorter barreled revolvers, so I would put this one at $550-600. The 8 3/8" 16-4 is an unusual barrel length for this model, and I wouldn't be surprised if it brought $1000-1200.
