I’m guessing that’s a model 10 in nickel plating. Probably around $550-$650 depending on the condition of the nickel plating.
 
If the finish is aftermarket nickel, it's worth around $300 or so. If you can prove it's factory nickel, it's worth at least twice that.

If it's stamped with an "N" on the cylinder, it left the factory with a nickel finish. If it doesn't have the "N", it was probably a blued gun that someone had nickeled later on. This is a rule of thumb, as S&W wasn't always real consistent. I've seen a few factory original nickel-plated S&W revolvers that weren't stamped.
 
The cylinder is “N” stamped. Your photos are not the best, but the finish appears flawed. You have a $300.00 shooter grade gun if the stocks number to the frame.

S&W no longer offers that finish.
