Answer
Shawn,

The model 24 (.44 Target Model of 1950) was introduced in 1950. In was built on the N-frame Model 21 with target sights.

Manufacture of the Model 24 was discontinued in 1966. S&W produced slightly over 5,000 Model 24s. However, it was reintroduced in 1983 through 1984 then dropped again.

The retail value in "good" condition would be about $300. Condition is very important in considering value. This information is to used as a guide and not as a quote.

Thank you for your question.
