haha gettin a little closer got any idea on the price

With the flecking spots in the nickel, I would put it at about a $300 gun. They are not too collectable, they made a gazillion of them from 1899 to present. It became the model 10 after 1957.

A little closer range would be 1930-1937. With that SN, I'd say close to the higher end of that range, at least pre-WWII.

I didn't see the SN first time through. Anyway, for several reasons, I think it was manufactured in 1937 or earlier. Dating those made during the Great Depression is a little difficult, as shipping dates do not correlate with manufacturing dates, as many shipments were made of old inventory. Therefore, the shipping date for yours could have been much later than 1937, even though made earlier. The early British contract M&Ps manufactured during early-mid 1940 started with SNs of about 685000. A factory letter will tell you the shipping date, but not the manufacture date.
