1937 S/42

What everyone says is true. The serial number is necessary because early 1937's had strawed parts and late 1937's had blued parts. Its hard to give good ESTIMATES without knowing more. Do the grips have a chip off of it at the saftey lever? Do they show wear? Do the straps show wear? More information needed but the gun could be worth even more. Shooters go for the price previously mentioned. But even that price is a safe price without more information. Having a matching mag is a good sign for an unseen gun. Sometimes we get excited when we see a gun we want and we overlook something that someone who does not care would see in a heart beat. I have a few examples of that.
