A friend is looking for a price for a S&W 16-8, blue 4", 38 special revolver in order to sell it. He has had it about 40 years and he thinks its at least 10 years older than that.

Being so old, I can't find any for sale. How can I find it value?

have you searched GB in “completed items”
 
Check Smith and Wesson Forum. They have an active WTS section. I’m thinking you are describing a model 15. I’m saying $5-600 if in good shape in this environment
 
I did find some 16-3 info but not 16-8. You might be right. I will double check with the owner to see if it could be a 3

I can see misreading the -3, but that sure looks like it says 16. Ive got a 15-3 and it is clear as a bell.
I didn’t think S&W qc went to hell until the 90s?
