Greetings from California
Hello All,
I'm Norm from California but originally from the great state of Arizona. During my college years back in Tucson, shooting and reloading was my #1 hobby but, after moving to California in 1987 for work, it was nowhere as easy or convenient to do either and I just eventually sold almost all my guns and moved onto other hobbies. I retired at the beginning of this year and my interest is again piqued. My only problems now are those California gun laws!
Anyway, I do have an old S&W .38 Special revolver without a model number that my dad had left me. Which is the appropriate forum to post for help in identifying the model and year of manufacture? Thanks!
Norm

Aloha Norm! AZ here and I'm sad to say you may not recognize Tucson after being gone for so long.
As for where to post your firearm for info, My guess is the 1896 to 1961 Forum.
