Approximate worth...
My mother in law is looking to sell a few guns since her husband died. I'm wondering if anyone can give me a general ballpark figure of what they might be worth...All the info I have is what is printed on the guns... Smith and Wesson, 38 special (he was a police officer, this was his gun)ChartR - Arms Corporation, Undercover 38 SpecialJennings Firearms Model, J-22

Not enough information. Would need model numbers and condition to give you much info, and values can even vary with barrel length.If the Smith is a model 10 in 90% condition with a 4" barrel it could go $250 or less, two inch barrels $200-$225The Jennings is worth less than $100, probably substantually less.You really need to give model numbers, and other particulars, along with description of variables like barrel length, grips, blued or stainless, and condition, condition, condition! Perhaps a dealer in your area could give you an idea. 0 -
I realize that condition is a huge factor.. she just doesn't want to walk into a gun shop and not have any idea whatsoever... Do these numbers help?Smith and Wesson - 38 S&WSPC CTG-C 395284ChartR Arms Corporation580413 - Undercover 38 SpecialJennings Firearms Model J-22426503That's all the information that is printed on the guns...Thanks so much! I wasn't having ANY luck searching around the net... 0 -
The Jennings last sold for $79 new and is not collectable. $30-$65 tops.Charter Arms about $75-$175, more if Stainless.Can't tell you much on the Smith without a model number. They are stamped on the front of the frame and visible when the cylinder is opened. The Smith will likely be the best of the lot. The other two were not expensive, high quality pistols to begin with and there is little or no collector market. They are worth what you can get for them as shooters. The Smith could be different. 0 -
I can.The S&W wont have a model number inside the crane because they didnt start doing that until 1957. This gun was made before that. It is a .38 Military & Police, which was later called the Model 10. Depending on configuration, finish and condition, $150-$350.
