Hello,
I have a Smith and Wesson .38 special CTG 6 shot revolver that I could use a little help identify the model, when it was made, if the nickeling is original, and correct grips. Any help would be great.
Stamped on top of the barrel
"Smith and Wesson Sprinfield Mass. USA
Patented Feb 6. 06, Sept 14. 09, Dec 29. 14."
Right side of the barrel is stamped "38 S&W SPECIAL CTG"
Left of the barrel is stamped "SMITH & WESSON"
Under the grips on the butt of the gun is stamped "614953" which I believe is the serial number.
When the cylinder is opened, there is the number "29323" inside.
The grips have a different serial number than the gun but are they original to the type of handgun? They look like they fit pretty well.
The mechanics of the gun check out to me. Cylinder is pretty tight and rotates properly.
I picked it up at an auction for about $225 after fees. Any idea of what it may be worth?
Thanks in advance for any help than can be provided.
Pictures coming shortly.
