I picked up a couple of watches (a Rolex and an Omega) at an estate sale. I made an offer on a couple of other items and then noticed an old, dusty gold S&W box under a stack of old photos. Once we did the deal on the watches I asked about the S&W revolver. The lady said "take it....I hated it since my husband bought it."
Thank you very much! I don't know very much about the S&W early hand ejectors. I am pretty sure that it is a .38 Military and Police (Postwar) "Pre-Model 10". If true then it is a K-frame with a square butt. I know it has 5 screws and looks to be circa 1948 with a serial# of C81386. The box matches and it has a 5" barrel which is also on the box. I know that millions of these were made but IIRC the 5" was a little more scarce. Anyway...here are some pics. It has a few rough spots but looks in excellent shape overall. The grips have one small, light scratch but no chips. The bore is bright and looks to have been very lightly used.
