Its probably a .38 S&W rather than a .38 Special if it has a five inch barrel. If that doesn't bother you, $235 is a pretty fair price. I'd take another look, and maybe try to knock him down a bit.

You also should make sure it hasn't been rechambered to .38 Special. That was a common "improvement" back in the day.

I'm sure it's in .38 S&W and not .38 Special.

If you reload it's an easy round to load (and I have some dies for sale, hint hint). If you don't then the caliber sucks as ammo is pricey and hard to find.

These will bring $350+ in really nice condition.
