a friend of mine is trying to get some idea of the value of a S&W revolverhe has.
I think it has a 4 inch Barrel..I've not seen it in person, only pictures...Most of the blueing is gone...
This pistol is a .38 Special..I believe it is a pre-war Target Model..it has the adjustable rear site, and the tall pinned target front site. It also has a Target hammer and the larger what i would call target grips that co ver the fron and bottom of the grip frame with light finger grooves.
The pictures I have are too large of files to send on this site, and I don't know how to make them a suitable size for downloading here.
Here is what my friend wrote me that it says on the barrel:
Terry,
Here are the pictures of the .38 Special. On one side of the barrel it says:
Smith & Wesson Springfield Mass U.S.A.
PAT'D APR9.89 MAR27.94 MAY21.95 JUL16.95 AUG4.96
DEC.22.96 OCT.4 98 OCT. 8. 01 DEC.17.01. SEPT 2.02 JUL 7.03
On the other side of the barrel it says:
.38 S. & W. SPECIAL
U.S. SERVICE CTG '8
And up on the site block at the end of the barrel it says King pat. pen.
Also the serial number he gave me is:
1176xx.
And also the cylinder release lever is not the normal S$W..Type..it is just a round rod sticking straigt out the side of the left side frame which would be pushed forward in a slot.
Thanks, Terry Harper
