My Dad recently passed away and I wass given his gun collection. One of the guns is an old, what I believe to be , model 10 S&W. It is a .38 s&w with a 5" barrel. One odd thing that I haven't seen anywhere else is that it has a small cutout shaped like a home plate, just above the front of the trigger guard. My Dad always said that it was a Canadian Mounted Police pistol and that's where a badge was. It also has a hole for a lanyard in the bottom of the grip.
Also a family friend just gave me a model 67-1 .38 special, that he bought new in 1977 (i think). It is unfired and he gave me the original box.
My question is, are either of these guns of any significant value to a collector. I'm not wanting to sell either, I just want to get an idea. Also, since the model 67 is unfired, I was wondering if it be worth leaving unfired or if I should just enjoy shooting it.
Any thoughts?
