S&W pre-model 10 I think???

I'm 69 years old & this gun was given to me by my grandfather. I had someone guess that it is a pre-model 10. It doesn't have a model # on it. On the barrel is says "38 S&W Special CTG", on the frame it has the Smith & Wesson trademark & "Made in USA, Marcas Registradas, Smith & Wesson, Springfield Mass. The serial # is: C 1467XX. Can anyone give me information on the gun? It looks to have a 5" barrel. Thanks, Bernie 001.JPG

Seems like I posted a reply to this somewhere. Best guess 1951 +/-. What else did you want to know?

I agree early 1950s. Very little difference between yours and when S&W started to put model numbers in 1957.
