I think the same! Thank you. It's too beautiful to even load. This is my first nickel plated revolver and with it being so perfect I am probably ruined on looking at any others to buy!

Tommy, the dash number makes all the difference in value on Smiths. Yours is a -5. It is the first change to not include a pinned barrel and recessed cylinder. In value terms, it takes a bit hit because it is not pinned and recessed. Most big money collectors only want P&R models.
The presentation case is most likely not original to the gun because the only K framnes that were put into a presentation case were obvious commemorative guns...ie the Texas Ranger Model 19-4.
It is a nice piece, but IMO not a collector. Just a super nice user, or BBQ gun!
That being said, IMO, the gun by itself could bring $700-750 and the presentation case could bring $100-125 by itself. + or - of course.
Hope that helps!

Heck yeah, dont get rid of her!
Oh, and for sure dont store it in that box. It will hold moisture and rust the gun.
