Likely that is a Chief's Special (Model 36) since the Airweight (Model 37) was an alloy frame, and offered in blue. Value depends on EXACT model and condition. I recently paid $500 for an early flat latch Chief's Special in nickel, like new condition- and was happy to do so.
S&W never made a 38 Magnum. A Model 36-10, AKA The 38 Chief's Special, which is chambered in 38 Special, is worth 100-400 USD
