S&W CTG 38 History and Value??

[ArchAngelCD]

That's a wonderful old revolver your father passed down to you. Did he bring it home with him from WWII?

I agree you should keep the original ammo with the gun and don't shoot that ammo. Also, do you have any pictures of your Dad with that revolver especially during the war? That would make a good connection for the gun and your Dad.

You have a nice piece of history there especially since that revolver was your Dad's. That is special, congratulations...

Pictures of Father

My father didn't speak too much about the details of the war. He came back with jungle rot and spent considerable time in a VA Hospital but eventually did fine. He also ran a casino in the Phillipines called "Sam's Casino;" a bit of a gambler I'm afraid. I have a lot of memorabilia (excuse the spelling) including Seabee pendants and other Navy/stopover items he picked up. I'll look for a picture of him in a uniform with the gun and let you know what I find but I doubt if I have any closeups. I'm still looking for an ammo box that he kept papers in but am not sure if it relates to the bullets. Thanks for the interest!
