[Avalanche43]

The revolver in question is a Smith and Wesson .38 special. I think it is from the 1940's. The serial number starts with a V 2*****. I think that the barrel may have been shortened. The only markings on it are "Made in the USA" and the S&W Trade Mark stamp. On the barrel it says Smith and Wesson 38 S&W SPC. CTG.

Anyone with any knowledge on this piece would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
