I googled and came across your website. Lot's of info here for the shooting enthusiast.
I am mostly just trying to identify a S&W .38 that came into my posession. Year of manufacture or close would be great. I also am trying to identify if this particular gun should be blued or parkerized, as the original finish appears to have been removed and a poor attempt at rebluing the gun was done. I believe I have the skill to hot blue the gun properly, but wonder if there is any way to identify the original protective coat. If the original coating is Parkerized, it goes to the shop.
SN is K760339. It also says MOD and followed under it by 142. I assume this to stand for model 14-2, but may be wrong.
I saw that folks from your website have done this on other threads, and whereby I ended up here and thought it might be worth asking. Thanks for any help you can give.
