While the UK 5" .38S&W examples aren't exactly my accumulation specialty I could probably be "persuaded" to purchase a U.S. use 5" .38S&W if it lettered as such......assuming they aren't priced as expensively as unicorn horns.
No Letters, but I have picked up two this year in super shape. Price was decent and I load for them. No import marks etc. and both are 5" and in 38S&W-- I continue to be surprised at the folks that dont know they are NOT 38SPL-- I feel lucky, and Thanks to the members here that provided me with these two gems. Seems I got in under the wire, so I doubt there will be any more.
