Briefly, I am not a gun collector and I am not well educated in dating firearms. My interest only extends to the guns that have sentimental value which were handed down to me from my grandfather and father. My oldest son had been saving his money and wanted to add a revolver to his guns that I have handed down to him. Yesterday we saw a S&W 38 Special at a gun show and really fell in love with it. We're not so much interested in value as we are the history and date/age of the gun. I have enclosed pictures of everything I could think of that would assist experts in identifying this gun. I think it's referred to as a 5 screw and it is nickel plated with an unusual horse engraving. fyi - we paid $250.00 for it.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys. Interesting forum by the way.
