I have an .38 S&W 5-shot revolver. It is about the size of the current J-Frames, but it has a conventional hammer and rounded grip. It has a blued finish. I know this gun dates back to somewhere around 1948 to 1950 when it was given to my mother by her uncle. The serial number is 55977. I believe when it first came out it was referred to as a Chief's Special.
I believe it came in a blue cardboard box,but it's long gone.
Do you know any thing more about this gun, possibly the Model number? My Mother also gave me another number that she thought was the serial number: 17A35.
Thanks.
