Another few things to look for is the serial number on the face of the cylinder. If it matches, it is the original 38 S&W. I have a conversion done by Cogswell & Harrison of London. They changed the cylinder and replaced it with a 38 special cylinder. Naturally, the SN doesn't match, but it is now a great shooter. Also, try to place a 38 special cartridge in the cylinder . If it chambers all of the way in, it's a special. If it won't chamber all of the way it's an S&W.
