Pictures of Father My father didn't speak too much about the details of the war. He came back with jungle rot and spent considerable time in a VA Hospital but eventually did fine. He also ran a casino in the Phillipines called "Sam's Casino;" a bit of a gambler I'm afraid. I have a lot of...

Grips The wood grips are a perfect fit and appear to perhaps never even been removed from the gun. However I can only verify that being the case from say, the 1950's when I was a mere youth. None of the serial nos. have a "V" in front of them to answer an earlier question; 89xxxx in all four...

Serial Nos.-Placements Need either new eyes or better magnifying glass or better flashlight or....... 1)Bottom of the butt-yes 2)Underside of the barrel. 3)In the case of an extractor shroud, inside the cavity where the ejector rod resides-I think this is what I probably incorrectly...

More pics but hit limit If you let me know what you are looking for, I can see if I can provide answers. I am new to this site and to guns in general, but intrigued. I am sure this gun was used in a combat setting for some time since pictures taken by father included a Philipino holding the...

I inherited a ".38 S&W CTG" with a 4" barrel from my father who many years ago served with the Seabees for almost 2.5 years during WWII in the Phillipines. The guns s/n is 89xxxx located on the base of the handle near the lanyard ring (also on the bottom of the barrel) which also includes the...

Intro. Squeaky new member to both this site and to guns in general. Inherited a gun and after reading threads via googe that recommended this site, figured I would take a look:)
