Hello to all,
This is my first post and would like some help.
First of all,
My name is Frank W. Catanzarite. I'm 50 yrs. old, married, two beautifull young ladies and three grandchildren so far. Also have two great son-in-laws. One is a manager of a water treatment plant in Santa Rosa, CA. The other is a F-18 fighterpilot in the US Navy. Very Proud of my girls and sons.
Now to my situation:
My wifes dad left her a S&W 38 Special CTG with the numbers 610593 on the but of the gun and on the bottom of the barrel when you open the spindel. I have written to other forms and didn't get much info, but I might know why now. When you open the spindel there is a letter B (I believe) towards the front of the barrel, like B 610593. It's a six inch barrel, six shot, dark finish, I belive walnut grips with S&W emblems on both sides and a S&W stamp in the casing on the left hand side as you would hold the pistol.
Can anyone tell me what year it is and what does the letter B before the serial numbers mean? The B does not appear on the bottom of the but, just the barrel. I need the information to replace a broken spring inside the pistol grip. It's mostly flat with a slight curve and tapered with what looks like a two prong fork at the top end.
If I get the spring replaced, which seems easy enough, do I have to be concerned about the type of 38s I shoot with?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,:cool
