I have a 38 special left to me @ my father's death. The serial # on the butt of the pistol is SV 780261 the # on the cylinder is the same except preceded with P V spaced between the cartridge rounds. The # under the barrel is 780261P
The model # (?) is 42798 stamped on the inside of the frame under the crane when closed. The last paten # on top of the barrell is DEC 29 14. Is that enough information to determine what year this pistol was made?
