    Sounds like a Model of 1905 4th change, probably made in the 20's, should be nickel instead of chrome. Value can range from $50 up to $700 depending on condition. Average maybe $250.

    roswellnative,

    Please look closely at the gun you mentioned in the OP.

    You state Ser#, Chrome, & 38 S&W short

    Caliber first, S&W never made a 38 "short". The two 38 chamberings for S&W are '38 S&W ctg' & '38 S&W special' However, Colt did produce a 38 short & a 38 long.

    Also many different S&W clones were produced to compete with S&W. They were made in Spain, South America, & Belgium + others. The clones were made to fool the public into thinking they were getting the real thing.

    The finish, S&W never produced a chrome gun, but it could have been done aftermarket. An original nickel plated gun should have enough tarnish (patina) as to not be confused with chrome.

    Now for a wild guess, look at the butt of the gun. Does it have a lanyard ring or hole for one? Is the ser# preceded with a letter "V"?
    The v may be on one side of the lanyard ring (hole) & the rest of the ser# on the other.

    So the short version, your post brings up more questions than answers. The posibilities are too numerous for us to identify the piece of which you speak without more information to go on.
