Default Hello from oklahoma
Hello i recently came across a gun my grandmother had purchased from her sister years back and that's as far back as I know of ownership. Inside the gun case I found a non snub nose 38 s&w special crtg with a zip tie around the hammer and trigger of gun and a letter. The letter is dated 5/11/1984 from a gunsmith stating the gun is from the 1900s issued to the navy and is number 8280/10000 and has been restored( doesn't seem to be a restoration to perfect just a restoration to be cleaned and made sure it works) and is in firing condition but that the gun was made to handle lower power ammo and that new ammo might be dangerous. I understand what he is talking about but I was wanting to find out more info about the gun and rarity and value so if anyone is able to help I would appreciate it.

Welcome from Cincy.

If I am drawing the correct inference from your user name, we here do love a tasty recipe now and then.

Welcome to the forum. It may be speaking to the fact the gun is too old to handle +P ammo safely. Just a guess.
