S&W M&P (pre model 10)
the C series serial number Post WWII and the serial number places it at the high end of 1948 to 1952 production range.
It's not exceptionally valuable, but it's a classic and should be cared for.
You should have no trouble finding comparable sales on the usual online suspects.
It appears to be in beautiful condition.
If you chose to shoot it, remember that S&W advises that pre-model 10 series 38's should not be fired with +P or +P+ ammo.
The ones I have fired had a light crisp trigger pull if you shoot them single action.
Its not unsafe, but If your used to Glocks and similar long heavy trigger pulls, you may have developed a few bad habits that could bite you if you shoot it single action.
Back to basics - Finger off the trigger until you're on target.
