old 38 ID
I am sorry. it Does have smith and Wesson Stamped on it. The barrel on one side has 38 s&w special stamped and the other just has smith and Wesson. It is a 5 shot, it has two different number sets. On the bottom of the butt and the backside of the wood grips it is stamped 1235XX. However on the frame and cylinder carrier it is stamped 578XX. There is a "floating" L above the 578XX set. It may have been a police or military issue but I'm not sure. I hope this info helps a little. Thank you again.

nchellbilly: Your Model 10 is from the same period as blamm123's: 1966 to 1967. His is toward the front of the serial number range used in those years, so 1966 is more likely - yours is toward the end of the range, so more likely 1967. The 10-6 was introduced in 1962 when S&W dropped the screw in front of the trigger guard, resulting in the so called "3-screw" configuration that is still used today. It remained in production until 1977 when the 10-8 replaced it (the 10-4/5 and 10-7 models had the tapered barrel, but were otherwise identical to the 10-6 and 10-8, respectively).
The grips on your gun are the smooth K-frame target grips (you can see that the grips are larger than the frame, covering the butt - the standard service grips left the butt exposed). They're somewhat less common than the service and checkered target grips - I have them on a couple of my K-frames and I like them very much. |

The original stocks should have the numerical portion of the serial number (omitting the "C" prefix) under the RH panel. |

Thanks for the info ya'll.
Any idea of the value of this gun ? I only paid $150 for it. It seems to be in great condition for a gun that old. |

jabco,
Are there a couple of more digits in the serial number? Maybe S32xxxx? I can only tell you that the 28-2 was introduced in 1961. In 1968, the diamond grips were deleted. In 1969, Serial numbers were changed to the N prefix. So somewhere between 1961 and 1969. If it is S32xxxx, then 1968-1969. |

Old .38
Hey, i figured this is as good a place as any to start the research, my father just gave me after years of waiting the .38 that was given to my great-grandfather by Boston PD as a marksmanship instructor...I believe it was right after WWI, might be as late as the early 20's...
serial # is - 253XXX square butt 6" bbl original wood grips, very light pitting, in some very small areas, probably 90% original bluing. I am mostly interested in the date of production... thanks- |
