My dad just got a Smith and Wesson 38 special CTG from his mother. She inherited it when her uncle was killed in the line of duty as a police officer in Ok city. I know absolutely nothing about old weapons and would apprecciate any help on dating it and value. I don't have pictures but will try to get over there tomorrow to get some.
Here's the markings he told me about.
Left Barrell: Smith and Wesson
