Default s&w US Service CTG 8

Thanks Jim.
Those last two pistols are family guns. The model 10 was my fathers and the US Service revolver was my great grandmothers. She called it her "bulldog". It "barks up close, but bites way out..."
Its an original Smith & Wesson in .38 s&w special, 6 shot, 6" barrel, fairly small grip with original black s&w grips, serial # 89xxx on the butt, when the cylinder is open the #s 111xx are on the hinge and the frame. Manufactured in Springfield, Mass. Patent dates on the barrel are from 4-9-89 thru 12-17-01. My great grandfather died in 1929 so I know its earlier than that.

Again, thanks for the help. Steve
