My father in-law gave me very nice smith. I know it is a model 10, however i'm not sure if it is a M&P or what year it was made. It had been stored for a while and developed some rust. I was able to remove it without damaging the finish, which is very nice. The only other problem is that the main spring is broke. Other than that it appears as if it has never been fired.

Top of barrel: patented feb. 6.06sept. 14.09dec.29.14
ser#506882. It has sort of an "off colored" side plate w/ 3 screws.

Thanks for any info.

  M&P Model of 1905 4th Change. S/N range places it in a prodution span from 1915 to 1942 ... however given the s/n I'd guess it at mid-1930's production.
  
  Also what you have is known as a "Five Screw". There are 4 screws on the right side of the revolver and the 5th screw is at/above the front of the trigger guard facing back toward the butt of the revolver.
  
  Value, in Excellent Condition, is nominally $250.00
  
  Replacement mainsprings are readily available from a number of sources, including Smith & Wesson, Numrich (eGunparts) and Wolf Springs. Or if you don't feel like hunting them down use the mail icon at the top of this reply to drop me a note and we'll work something out.
  
  Hope this helps.
  
  
  
  If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!

  Thank you! That was most helpfull. Due to it's low value rate I guess I'll turn it into a shooter. Standard pressure of course.
