Is it a top break or hand ejector (swing out cylinder)?
Exposed hammer or Hammerless?
Five shots or six?
.38 S&W or .38 S&W Special?

Are there any markings on it that look like words and numbers?

Can you show close clear pictures?

Also what is the barrel length, measured from the front of the cylinder?
What is the finish, nickel plate or blue?
If nickel, are the hammer and trigger plated?
