    Left in a holster for too long without proper maintenance. It's not just the barrel with issues, the frame and cylinder appear to be compromised, as well. Personally, I wouldn't give $25.00 for it. Ben's expertise may say otherwise.

    It's a 19-5 so it never had any collector value (earlier Model 19's are more sought after)...If it checks out mechanically, it should make an OK shooter...Refinishing it will not increase its value at all...It would probably make a decent glovebox gun (although I don't encourage anyone to leave a gun in an unattended vehicle)...The grips are worth $50-75, and the gun shouldn't sell for more than maybe $300 in that pawn shop, so the buyer might be able to trade the grips for a $10 pair of used rubber Pachmayr grips and a box of ammo...Around here it would be hard to sell at all......Ben
