I have a S&W 38 revolver that I found in a trunk in my dad's attic. Serial number is 374952. CAn anyone tell me the date of manufacture? Thanks....
 
How many shots does the cylinder hold? Serial numbers used to overlap. Also does the cylinder swing to the side or does the barrel tip down?
 
Also, what caliber specifically is the gun. There are several different .38 caliber cartridges the two most commonly found in S&W revolvers being .38 S&W and .38 Special.
