I have an old Smith & Wesson 38 spl. that I would like some info on. I got this gun from a friend of my fathers who said it was his uncles. He said his uncle was an Navy academy graduate (Annapolis) and I think he said he was in the Spanish American war. He also told me he thought this was his side military sidearm.

This gun is double action only and the hammer is 1/2 gone. I'm not sure if this gun has been modified or if it is just broke.

Serial # is 236,7**

Any information I could get wold be greatly appreciated.
