Miss-stamped frames are not unheard of.

No Model 38s (the Bodyguard Airweight) were ever chambered in the 38 S&W.

Ask what the roll mark on side of barrel is?

If there's a photo, and it's truly a 38 S&W, the cyl will not fill the frame window even when built on the J frame. A 38 Spl cyl will completely fill the window.
