The chambering is stamped on the side of the barrel, .38 S&W Spl. or .38 S&W Special would be 38 Special, just 38 S&W would be just that. (not 38 special). The CTG stands for cartridge. Since you stated SN 374479 is a 6 shot 38 then it's likely a 38 Military & Police (pre model 10) made around the early/mid 1920's. That's assuming there are no other letter prefixes with that SN. such as "K" or "D", etc. The 38 Airweight I assume is a 5 shot and would be a Chiefs Special Airweight (pre model 37) made in 1956. Both would be 38 Special. Jim |

Jim,
Thank you for providing the information. I figured it was a modification on the barrel. Ronnie |

Condition is important, particularly in a gun model that typically doesn't get carried, and if your gun really is only 90% or a bit more its value will suffer accordingly. Prices also vary a good bit geographically. Around here (northeast) I'd expect to see it priced at $400 to $450, but that would go up by $100 or more if the condition really is better than 90%.

Howdy folks, I'm new to the area of revolvers. Just bought a used Smith & Wesson Model 10-6 .38 Special. It's got a 4" barrel, 6 shot cylinder and the serial # stamped on the butt is D263209. Also stamped into the cylinder hinge is 64122. it's very clean, only has a few rust spots on the back of the frame and the steel trigger and hammer is tarnished.
Thanks for the help in advance! Tapatalked via my highly abused iPhone |
