My father just gave me a S&W .38 that he said my great uncle carried in WWII. The problem is the box and paperwork are from the 80s. The revolver is stamped with S&W logo and Springfield MA and also a stamp that stats it is property of US Government. Serial number is v 368183. Can anyone tell me the year this was made? I will ask S&W for the detailed history but will save the $50 bucks if it was made in 1982. Thanks.
