Picked this up a while back and got it out today to do a little cleaning and touch up.
I am about to send off to S&W for the doc's on it, i have the original paperwork where it was ordered from Stoger way back when... Its all factory, matching numbers S123XXX and i got it off a buddy, the original owner, although it spent the best part of its life under his Pop's pillow in a soft leather holster... thus the fine scratching.
I have issues with the actual model though and don't have a shooters bible/value book.
Best i can say is pre 19/27 >? 1950? The paper work doesn't say, its just called a S&W 357mag.
And the WINNER is....
