Default Help finding Smith & Wesson .38 Super revolver

My father in law describes a revolver he grew up with raising horses in Mexico. He knew it was six shot, nickle plated, querno de venerdo (deer horn, Im assuming ivory type grips), "long" barrel (his words!) and in .38 super. He hasnt seen the gun in many years, and doesnt dare attempt to file to bring it here as the gov down there is too corupt. I'd really like to try n find him the same gun he grew up with.

The gun was in the family before the 70s btw as he immigrated durring that time.

I have posted this up in other areas of the net, and never thought to look here. I have been told that back then, many of the revolvers had been converted to shoot .38 super, as that is the only caliber civilians are allowed to own. If you have any information on what model gun was actually modified, I'd really like to try and track something down like this for him.

Thanks for the help!
