I've tried to attach the photos following the instructions, to no avail. Maybe it's to late in the eve.
Any info you can provide woudl be appreciated.
When was the gun manufactured?
How much is this worth? How much should I expect to get from a Antique Gun Shop?

Proofhouse.com is a reliable source to look up the year by the serial number. Good luck!
You really should take it to a local gunsmith and let him see it in person to get a decent estimate. You can always verify the info by posting the results and what he said on here.
But in the case of your gun, I would definitely recommend having it checked by a smith. That's because the early models had a bore size of .375, and a lot of the later ones like yours have a bore size of .357. Even though both bullets were labeled "38 long colt", using the wrong round could be disastrous in that gun. Not to mention the shooter. So be safe and have it looked over and have the bore size checked out by a gunsmith, okay?
