Does anyone know of a source for an exploded view of the Smith and Wesson .38 Double Action top break?

The one I own is rough, but complete, and the action just quit working.

Also, anyone have info on date of manufacture? Mine is serial number 1326XX.

I've been buying top break Smith's (3 in the last 2 months), two Safety Hammerless models (3rd change, blue 4" barrel; and a 4th change, nickel 3 1/2" barrel). The other two i have are sweet shooters and collectors, but this Double Action model needs a lot of TLC.

Thanks!

This is all I could find, you could try posting in Gunsmithing and Repairs.

I don't have the actual link at hand, but Brownell's site will have it somewhere.
