Default Please Help Identify My Revolver

Note: New member, so i may make mistakes here. I have read several posts but could not find enough info to determine the specific weapon my father passed to me.

I have a "38 S&W Special CTG" (on barrel) revolver with a 4inch barrel. It has a wood grip. The serial number on the bottom of the grip and the bottom of the barrel is: 977652 (no letters). The barrell has "Smith and Wesson" on the other side of the barrell. and the Trade Mark, and "made in U.S.A."

The numbers on the "inside" (when the cylinder is rolled open) and on part of the frame that holds the barrell apears to be 24499 with 99 (?) above that. The numbers on the arm of the cylinder right below the previous marking are 24499 with a larger S (?) under it.

The are six letters ORD LOP behind thumb release and below the hammer)

Can you help me with identifying this? :-) Thanks, Tim

Welcome to the Forum. From the description you have a .38 Military & Police, likely produced just prior to WW II by the SN just before 1000000. The other numbers are factory internal codes. I don't know what the stamped letters mean but I bet some here does. Hope this is helpful.

Welcome to the Forum.

You have a .38 MIlitary & Police Model of 1905-4th Change. It was probably shipped from the factory in 1941-42 time frame.
