Default old J frame identification ?

Merry Christmas everyone. I have been offered a J frame that my limited knowledge can't identify. Please help with ident. and value. It a blue, 2 inch barrel , 5 screw (4 on side plate, 1 on front of trigger guard), 5 shot, chambered in 38 S&W. I can't find a model number in the crane recess. On the frame, in the crane recess, it has the number 88793. the same number is on the crane itself and on the rear face of the cyl. On the bottom of the butt is the number 71335. I don't know which is the ser. No. and what the other number signifies. The outside of the weapon is in about 90 % with one smallish impact mark on the bottom rear of butt. The barrel has some internal pitting as do the chambers. The action seems to work well Although the cyl. lockup is a tad loose. I was thinking of adding it to my small S&W collection even though it is an obsolete chambering. What do you guys think ? I appreciate any feedback.
