Smith and Wesson Military and Police (Pre-model 10)

Based on the serial number S 994838 this gun was mfg'd in 1948.  I recently bought it from a Gentleman in Illinois as a Birth-Year gun to give to a faminly member.  That option  is no longer viable so I'm selling it .  

If you are a collector, or want to be, then you can research this gun and determine the value, based on it's excellent condition.  I was told this gun is 1 of 1000 of it's variation and it's doubtful there is one out there in better condition that's available for sale.  Original box does have some water damage to the bottom part.

Anyway, if you have any interest, or questions.  Give me a call.

Must be picked up around I-10 and Chandler Blvd.  All Federal and State laws apply.

Asking $900 OBO . I might trade if anything appeals to me or might take trade and cash.  Open to most firearms except shotguns and hunting rifles.
