I have come across a S&W revolver and would like to know the approximate date of manufacture. I am a semi-auto type and don't have any revolvers, so this one has me stumped.
The barrel is marked Smith and Wesson on the left side and 38 S&W Special CTG. on the right side. There seems to have been a stamping on the right rear side of the frame, possible Trade Mark around an image. It is almost completely worn away, although the bluing looks to be pretty much intact. Almost looks like it may have been re-blued sometime long ago.
Anyway, it has a six inch barrel, fixed sights, and the grips are rounded toward the front of the gun, with the S&W emblem on a metal disc at the top of each grip. The serial number on the bottom of the grip frame is 247328, with no letter designation. Is there a model designation for this gun?
I would appreciate any info, that comes my way.
Thanks, vstol
