For approximate date of manufacture, visit the Ruger website at: www.Ruger.com For approximate value, I'd check with either flatgate or weaselmeatgravy on the Rugerforum site. I'm sure they'd try to help you out. RKBA!

Ruger .357 Magnums with a 4 digit serial number were only made in 1956 and 1957.

Beyond that, it depends on condition.

Bought a 41 mag 4 dig number from a estate sale
in Anchorage for 225. wth the box and a holster looks new this spring.
I had one of these before and it dropped in a river
years ago on a bear hunt mishape.Sure was lucky to get this one
but i think i will not tote it since i have so many more know days sure do like the feel of these older guns though.
