Found another one in the closet, cleaned out a deceased relatives house. Wife found this and not real sure if we have something or not. I cleaned it and it has been fired but still don't know if it's a find or not. Not selling. Just want to know more. Model 19-2.
What do I have?

I would consider any free gun “a find”. A nickel S&W 19-2 would certainly qualify. Are the grips Fuzzy’s? Either way, I wish I had relatives with stuff like this laying around waiting for me to discover. Congrats.

Im seeing a nickel four inch 19-2 with standard features, blue fs ramp and proud pins wearing a set of Herrets shooting star grips in what appears to be shooter condition, no box, docs, tools or original wood stocks.
The nickel version is alot less common than the blued one.
Can't really gauge it's actual cosmetic or mechanical condition without having it in hand but a nice gun if it checks out.

Then it is probably a very nice shooter. I wouldn't sell at any price.
Welcome to the Forum! You found a nice Model 19-2 with some great aftermarket wood stocks...if you post the s/n we can help you with the date of manufacture. As others have stated, nickel guns are not as common as the blued versions. The original stocks would have been walnut target stocks with S&W medallions a diamond around the screw. The 19-2 was introduced by S&W in 1961, and continued until the 19-3 was released in 1967. It has a pinned barrel and counterbored cylinder recesses, known as "P&R". Yours looks to be in VG condition, with just some small scratches and scuffs. You could try gently polishing it with some Flitz Polish or Mother's Mag Wheel polish and a microfiber cloth, and that nickel finish would really "pop". It's probably worth $800+. Congratulations, and enjoy!
Looks like a Model 19-2 with a four inch barrel and nickel plated finish. The stocks are Herrett's Shooting Star stocks and they are the older version with the checkering wrapping around the stocks. It looks like a really nice shooter. What's it worth? I'd say a pretty good sum of money, like $800 to $1000, depending on where you are and how much someone really wants one like that one.
