Helping out a relative going through dad's stuff. He was a lifer patrolman.
Found a 10-6 38 S&W Special CTG. that seems to be double action only. I want to know if this is (likely) his original police service revolver. Is it weird that it's double action only or is it broke? Serial D79xxxx Wood grips with smith emblem. 4 inch.
Airweight 38 SPL. CTG. Seral 10xxxx marked 29099 in the crane? Wood grips with smith emblem. 1 3/4 inch.
19-3 .357 Serial K91xxxx Some kind of rubber grips. 6 inch.
also a Beretta 96G .40 cal which i'm sure was a work piece, probably the last one he carried before retiring. Serial BER06xxxx M
All of these firearms are in embarrassingly poor condition. Rust is not a nice thing. I about teared up when i pulled them out of the bag. I need to assign a market value for them. The 10 and 19 and beretta seem to function ok, save the question of the dbl action only model 10. The airweight seems iffy, but i haven't cleaned any of them up yet.
So, if you have any opinions, let it fly.
