Hi
Long time lurker first time poster.
I have an old Smith and Wesson .38 Special Military and Police. In the original box complete with the owners manual with a cop wearing a complete "Dudley Do-Right" outfit.
I know it has less than 50 rounds put through it since it was my fathers and it lived in his closet until the day he died. 100% perfect shape.
It is numbered "S 870xxx"
What would the general vintage be?
Is it worth getting a Certificate of Authenticity from Smith?
I don't plan on selling it but a general value range would be nice. It is worth far more to me as a sentimental piece than anything else.
Thanks
