Hello,
What would the info (date/model) concerning a S&W-like revolver with s/n 1108XX be? (no letter in front of the s/n)
The s/n is engraved on the bottom side of the handle
Unfortunately it has NO other stamps/marks etc.
This is what leads me to the idea that it could be a "clone" manufactured under license (like the ones produced in Spain or France)
From photos I have seen sent to me by the collector it is identical to the pre WWI M&P model. (maybe a 2nd change mod. 1905?)
Here are some pics.
Thanks,

KframeSW38,
The complete lack of markings does make it suspect. Although, I suppose they could have been polished off during a refinish. Hard to tell from the pics. There were no licensed clones.
Assuming it is a S&W and chambered in 38 Special, the serial number would make it a .38 Military & Police model of 1905, 2nd Change. SN's ran from 73251 in 1906 to 146899 in 1909.
If it's not a S&W then all this means nothing.

Thanks for the reply!
It IS indeed a S&W as I managed to trace what is left grom the logo engraved, after blueing the gun.
Is there any possibility to know the caliber from the s/n?
There is nothing else (left) engraved on the revolver.
I am not sure if it is a .38 or a .32-20.........................

No. Both models used the same serial numbers concurrently.
If it's a 32/20 it would be a .32 Hand Ejector model of 1903, 5th Change. Serial numbers ran from 102501 in 1910 to 263000 in 1917.
BTW, a 32/20 would have a substantially larger hole at the back of the cylinder vs. the front.

Hey folks!
My name is Marcus and I’m from Brazil. My grandfather left these guns for my uncle around 40 years ago. Now, my uncle is giving me them.
My Grandfather use to tell that he bought the first of them (We don’t know which one) around 1930.
So, the problem is, I was not able to find the serial number and I can’t check them easily (Because having a gun is illegal in Brazil and they have to be stored in our farm – as we just have a farmer’s license).
I was wondering if anyone could help-me to identify these guns? I would be really happy if someone could tell me just the model they are and which period they were possibly made.
Thank You!

Marcus,
Assuming they are chambered in the same caliber as the pics are numbered (two 38's and a 22). The 22 is a K22 target masterpiece made after WWII.
Both 38's are 38 military & police models made before WWII, with one of them being a scarce target model. I would need the serial numbers to date them and to narrow down the exact model variations for the 38's.
