If you know your S&Ws I'd love to hear your thoughts on the one in the middle - it's a double digit serial (note the indentations). My grandparents used to carry it in their antique store pre-depression.
The other revolver has a 2" barrel which is also on the rare side as I understand it.
For some reason, I really like the top break revolvers. I have my great grandmothers black powder Iver and Johnson that she kept under her pillow down on the border. I have had it since I was a little kid. Not worth much of anything but except for sentimental value.
I don't know much about the value of S&W revolvers but here is a pic of my great grandmothers gun.
thanks for posting the pic. I could look at old sentimental guns all day. Along the same lines it makes me wonder about the military surplus guns and the stories they could tell.
I have 3 old S&W revolvers
One is a secret services special top break
I suggest sending a letter with serial #
To Roy Jinks at S&W
He Will send you back a letter telling you the date it
left the factory who it was shipped to ect .
Its worth the $50 in my opinion
