My mystery revolver was my grandfather's. He died in 1940. My father gave the gun to me 25 years ago and had no information about the history of the gun.
The serial number, on the base of the butt and the end of the thing that holds the bullets is 141820 or 1418?0. On the left side of the barrel I find 38 S & W C?G. There is a S&W trade mark on the right side behind the trigger.
When I open the gun (as if to load) I have measured the length from the barrel to the end of the bullet holder as 6 1/4 inches. I believe you would say the gun is blue. A magnet sticks to the gun. There is no safety, and the sights are not adjustable.
By my description you can probably tell that I am a woman who knows very little about guns.
I would appreciate any information about the age of the gun, and would it be something I should try to sell or should it be trashed.
Thanks for any information and advice.
