Don't deactivate them. The baby Jesus cries every time a perfectly serviceable firearm is dewated.
I had these two Prohibs deactivated in October 2020 and I sold them at Collector's Guild in NB for decent prices. ($950 & $1,039) in 2021.

I don't think they'd have much value deactivated. I bought a very similar gun, a ww2 vintage with a R-length barrel, for like $550 right before the freeze happened. And I wouldn't have paid that much for a 38SW if not for the fact that the freeze was coming, I wanted a S&W real bad, and couldn't afford one in a more available cartridge.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think there is much of a market for deactivated revolvers in general. Would you even be able to spin or open the cylinder under current deactivation standards? I want to say no?

THIS. Deactivation is a SIN before the lord himself. Thou shalt not ... deactivate.
I already have a Smith & Wesson revolver---and it is not a Prohib.
It also comes with family history.
It will never be deactivated.
