Like many other's, I've just acquired my Grandfather's S&W 38 spl.
From reading the related posts, I'm guessing she's an oldie but goodie.
Here's the description;
Barrel markings- '38 S&W Special CTG'
Patient dates start with March 27 94
end with Sept. 14 09
Serial Number 178055
Yoke number 2201
4 inch barrel, Blue finish, Wood checker grips-w/S&W brass ID, rounded butt
fixed sights -big blade upfront, small grove & notch on frame rear.
I'm told my Grandfather had it from at least 1919.
Am I safe to assume this is an early Model 10?
What frame might this be - 'J' , 'K' ??
Does anyone know if /how I might get a copy of the original Manual?
P.S. - The frame is pleasently aged, bore slightly pitted, and it shoots like
a dream.
Thanx for any help.
