That revolver would have most likely shipped from the factory in late 1924 to early 1925. A fine S&W 38 M&P that is almost 100 years old deserves a better life that a god-awful powder coat. Clean it up and sell it to someone who would appreciate the gun for what it is. They will never make more.

I usually say "it is your gun and do what you want, but with this one, I will ask you to pleas leave it alone.
