S&W M-10 revolver in .38 short?

Post by MJ1 » Mon Sep 04, 2006 2:35 pm

It has a large lanyard ring and plain wood stocks. Parkerized with strawed parts. What is it? Worth $100?

Cheers

If it has matching numbers on a flat on the underside of the barrel and on the cylinder and is still in 38S&W, then could be 250 and up. Proof markings should be 3.5 tons sq inch if UK proofed. What other markings are on the barrel or cylinder? Dave_n

No idea what it'sworth but it's a beautiful example of what was the standard Australian Army issue sidearm for many years.

They can be found anywhere from $150-$350, depending on markings, conditions & accoutrements.

The .38-200/.38 short/.38 S&W revolverd don't bring quite as much as the .38 Special "Victory models", but they are collectable, and that is a fine example.

It's not really "Strawing" on the hammer & trigger, but color case hardening. :D

would love to see it but only the swiss came thru for me - they are superb though and i appreciate seeing them , my 'victory' marked S&W in 38s&w was didrange of the values quoted , i felt i was treated fairly for the piece and the gentelman i purchased it from was also happy , we all want the 'buy of a lifetime' but seldom get that chance , and i wanted that revolver

" , top of bbl has pattent data with dec 29 14 as the last date , 'V' prefix SN on butt next to the lanyard ring , and cylinder face , S&W logo trade mark on right above/behind the trigger and 'made in the USA" on right above/fore of the trigger , havent taken the smooth walnut grips off yet but they look original for sure - it shoots very well
