Today I saw a S&W 38 CTG Regulation Police revolver in a local gun shop and wondered if anyone could tell me a little about it. It is a five shot revolver with a 4" barrel. It has a swing out cylinder and hand ejector rod. It appears to be an "I" frame, square butt with checkered walnut grips. There are two sets of numbers on the gun...What appears to be the serial number is on the front of the frame between the grips, it is #10524 with no letters before or after it. There is another number where the ejector rod cradles in the frame when it is closed and that # is 1180. I am sorry that I am unable to post pictures at this point but was wondeing if anyone knew when it might have been manufactured. Mechanically the gun is very tight and locks up well. The bore is clean and has good rifleing. The entire gun looks like most of the blue had faded to a grayish color...does someone know when this gun may have been made and what if any an approximate value may be for this gun?
It has a series of patent dates on top of the barrell...year o1 I believe is the first year 09 the second and dec,14 being the last patent date listed. I hope I provided enough information to get some information on the gun.
