Welcome to the Forum, Tony. How about attaching some pictures of your Model 10-5? We're always interested in seeing pictures, and we can help you determine condition, value, etc. Do you have the original box and tools? What is the barrel length? Is it blued or nickel? There were millions of .38 Military & Police and Model 10 revolvers manufactured by S&W, so they are not rare or particularly valuable. S&W started model numbers in 1957-58, that's when the M&P became the Model 10. Right now, Model 10 revolvers with 2" barrels are very popular and desirable. Just FYI.
