    A 649 is all stainless steel.

    An Airweight in a similar model is a 38 or 638.

    If it's factory nickel, not chrome, and an Airweight, it is most likely a model 38.

    If it was made prior to 1958, it may not have a model number stamped on it.

    A few good pictures would help identify your revolver, and then a search of completed auctions would be easier.

    OK-It has "AIRWEIGHT" on the right side of the barrel with "38 SPL. CTG." under it. No reference to 649? With cylinder opened it's stamped 38-1. Shinny chrome finish. Neighbor owns this and asked me if I was interested in buying it from him. Told me he bought it in 1989 for $270. Never fired and has box. I want to be fair with him, he's a good guy but have no idea of value. Thanks again

    So what it is, is a model 38-1, nickel plated, not chrome.

    There are none that I can find on Gunbroker.

    So, for what it's worth, I would pay him back what he paid for it, plus $100.

    An end user might pay double its original price.

    Pretty nice piece with box, oh I would for sure give him $500 - here it could bring 800-1k course there are fees, taxes, hassle, ect.
