WTK M37 no dash 3" nickle value?

[opscwo]

Picked this up, unfortunately no box or papers. Looks to be unfired, Square butt, 3" factory nickle.

Any idea of how rare or value? I buy any 3" Smith, but this one had a lot of appeal.

Thanks,

Dean

Gents,

Please render a guess. Want to trade it for a 617 6" to a fellow S&W collector. But need to be fair in the trade.


Thanks.

It has been my experience that RB are more sought after than SB and a 3" barrel on an airweight takes away from the purpose of an airweight. Blue Books lists at $250 @ 95% and $400 NIB

I would say around $350 for this model in nickel. I purchased the same pistol in a blue finish last year, no box, and paid $325.

Not as many nickel versions were made. it is mentioned that of the total production of most models in each year, about 10% of those made would have been with a nickel finish.

I hope this helps.

Agree, somewhere in the $350 range.
