S&W Model 10 M&P 1917 info
« on: January 21, 2013, 12:50:07 PM »
Greetings:  Newbie here looking for info on a what I think to be a pair of old Model 10 .38 special M&P revolvers that I just got.  They have original sandblast blue finish and looks like they have seen little use as they were security guard guns from a Mass factory.  Serial number on one is V1778. Smooth walnut handle and fixed sights. Any thoughts as to potential value would be appreciated.
Thanks,
 
Bill

To get a good idea of any guns value( what ever someone is willing to pay for it)
Check out the gun auction sites and type in the type gun you have.
Chances are that someone else has the same gun up for auction.
A good site is Gunbroker

Two things.
One yours is an M&P that later became the Model 10.  it is a K frame or medium frame
The M&P shot either 38 Special or 38 S&W
The 1917 is a large frame that leter became the model 25 the large grame was later called the N frame.
The 1917 shot 45 ACP in either full or half moon clips.

If I'm not mistaken, the one with a V serial number is a Victory model and they command a much higher price. Love those M&Ps.
