Hi, I was given the following Smith and Wesson 38 Snub nose, and was hoping someone could give me some info on what I have.
- Serial #: 924050
- Arsenal Inspection initials: "W.B."
- Other Markings: There is a Flaming Bomb followed by a "P" on the bottom of the handle. Frame says "Cal 38 Special" on one side. On the other is the S&W Trade Mark Logo
- Barrel Length: 1.5 inches
- Rear Site: none, front site looks like a triangle (not rounded)
- Finish: Blue
- Grips: appear to be walnut, not checkered
Can anyone date this for me? It is a valuable Smith and Wesson?
Is the barrel original to the gun or was it swapped to the snub nosed version?
An estimated value would be nice, just nice to know.
Thanks and happy new year!
