Date of S & W 38 Special CTG?
I inherited a S & W 38 Special CTG that I am interested in know the age of. From the archives it looks like you guys are pretty sharp in dating these pistols. This is a blue barrel, wooden grip (probably original) revolver with a half-moon front sight and a square rear sight groove. Serial number on butt is 4291xx with NO letters.
Also has numbers on cylinder and under open cylinder. This has been stored in a cedar chest for decades and has some barrel rust. barrel is about 4 inches. |

Values, as you describe your gun would range from $175 to about $225 depending on the severity of the rusting.

Thanks BillCA
Thanks BillCA - You guys are good on this forum. You gave a lot of information in your short reply. The date you provided makes it older than I thought, but puts it squarely in my Grandfather's original posession. He was a coal miner and WWI veteran in Southern Illinois during a bloody confrontation period between the UMW, mine owners and "scabs" and probably felt he needed it to protect his family. Interesting addition to my genealogy knowledge.
