I have a S&W revolver that was handed down from my grandfather to my father, and my father to me. I am trying to find out what the date/year of it's conception was. Here is what I know from resourcing this site to help those of you in assisting me:
1 = It's a hand ejector
2 = Serial # on the butt of the gun is 7141. No letters, just 7141.
3 = The side of the barrel is marked as follows: 32 Long CTG
4 = Barrel length as shown from this site how to measure: front of cylinder to end of barrel.......4 3/16"
5 = Fixed sites

Please help me find out the info I seek. Can I shoot both 32 Long AND 32 Short rounds? Thanks!
