Have a chance to get in right on mis-matched M17 Smith & Wesson. Frame says 18-7 but 6" tube and box marked M17.
Have a mismatched Colt (Officer) and the mis-marked adds considerable value, but Colt collectors are different animal than Smith collectors.
Hypothetically, and speculatively, what impact do you think this mis-marking may have on the valuation? I know this may be an Indiana Jones question (bury a penny in the desert and in 1,000 years it is priceless).
Wild guesses are encouraged.
