feedback for a S&W mod60-4

OK so out running around this weekend I spotted a mod60-4 in a shop. It has a 3 inch barrel 5 shot 38spc.

Anyone here have one and care to give some feedback on them? Are they nickle or stainless? it has a rear adjustable sight and black rubber grips. Seems like a nice gun.. Seems most listed are 2 inch barrel and 357mag.

I would put condition at 90-95%, any idea on a 38spc. with 3 inch full lug barrel no lock value? My bluebook puts it at $450 for 100% and 350 for the next lower value.

The number "6' in Smith and Wesson denotes a stainless gun , e.g. 686,66,610,65,64.

A model 60 made .38 special only were made probably in late 60's the new model 60 is a .357 gun in stainless.

If the timing is good, there is no endshake, the ejector rod is straight and there is no flamecutting I would buy it. Here is a video on how to inspect a smith and wesson revolver.

In my opinion, it is not a real gun unless it is a wheel gun.

The 60 is stainless steel, The 3" barrel with adj sights is not too common, I would say they run in the 500 range,
They didnt start making them 357 till the late 90s.
It is a nice gun that many would like to have !
