I'm trying to find out the age and date of manufacture of a .38 Smith & Wesson CTG. It was my grandmother's.
Serial # 246397, on bottom of butt. No letters in serial #.
It weighs about 1 lb. 2.6 oz. according to my postal scale.
It doesn't have a visible hammer.
Seems to have a 3" barrel if I'm measuring correctly - from the bullet chamber. It appears to be a five-shooter.
From far end of butt to tip of barrel, it measure 8 inches. A magnet sticks to it, if that's helpful.
On the top of the barrel it has Smith & Wesson Springfield Mass USA
Any information would be great. Thanks so much.
