Help with ID and approximate Value of S&W hand ejector.

[Sedalia Dave]

What model S&W is this. Barrel markings only say .38 S&W Spcl. 
 

 

All major parts have matching serial numbers.

If it has no model number designation on the interior frame (under crane) - it is a pre 1957 "Centennial" model (precursor to the model 40).  Smith began model numbering in 1957 - this particular design began in 1952.

 

In "Very good" to "Fine" condition with box and papers - I see sold examples in the $1,300 - $1,500 range.

 

Without box and papers and putting yours in "Good" (grips, handling markings, nickel milkiness and discoloring on lower right at screw) - (and again if no model number on frame under crane) - I would estimate $600 - $800.

The flat cylinder latch is a sure fire sign it is an older model Centennial.

What is the serial number?  That will give an approximate time period.  Only letter from S&W historical records will give exact date of  manufacture.
