Hi I am a beginner when it comes to guns. Maybe someone could help me out with figuring out how old this gun is. I know there's alot of people on here that know alot more than me. I have a Smith and Wesson. 38 revolver with a Pearl handle. It is old because it was my great grandfather's. It looks like the barrel on it is about 3" inches long, does That sound right? On the bottom of the handle it has what appears to be a serial number that says C 126523. I do know this is a genuine Smith and Wesson because it says Made in U.S.A. Could someone tell me what year this gun was made and how much it's worth? I plan on keeping this gun and am curious, any help would be very appreciated. Thank you.
