hey guys, I've been looking all over for help, but nothing seems to match this gun, so I signed up here to see if you guys could help. I'm trying to date it, or get any info really other than it is a .38 revolver.
Here's what I know:
I know you gys must get tired of these questions, bt any help would really be appreciated. Thanks.
Here's what I know:
- My grandfather purchased it around 1950 sometime.
- SN 708XXX
- Barrel reads "38 S&W CTG" on the right side, and "SMITH & WESSON" on the left.
- Where other posts have indicated that the model number stamp should be, it has the number 4 2280 (the space after the four is present on the gun)
- appears to be 4 inch barrel (no ruler on me, so estimating)
I know you gys must get tired of these questions, bt any help would really be appreciated. Thanks.
