There are some videos on YouTube. All post-WWI K-frames until 1945 (or for that matter, even later) are pretty much identical, and are quite simple to disassemble. Yours is a fairly early Victory, 1942. It should not be blued, has probably been refinished. And it's NOT a Model 10.

Thanks for the input. Your last sentence has me confused. "it's NOT a Model 10" What model is it then?

S&W did not start using model numbering until the late 1950s, therefore, no earlier revolvers can be a Model (anything). Yours is a "Victory" Model as made during WWII, which is essentially identical in most respects to the pre-WWII civilian Military and Police (M&P) model, except for finish and grips. There were at least two major engineering modifications made to the mechanism separating yours from the later Model 10, in addition to a larger number of other more cosmetic changes.

The Pre War M&P K38 became the Victory Model, which after the war became the M&P again, and then in 1957 S&W decided to assign Model #'s to their guns, and then the M&P/Victory/K38 became the Model 10. The K Frame, 38 Special, 4", fixed sight has been of very similar internal construction from just after 1900 and still through today. If you look on the internet, K Frame Smith & Wesson Disassembly, you will find many different You Tube video's. Do not watch the one that shows a Model 19, as whoever is doing it is NOT very accomplished, and does things in an incorrect sequence. Look for an AGI video.

Thanks for the clarification. It would appear that a lot of people have not made this distinction.

Welcome to the forum.

S&W enthusiasts have long and commonly referred to pre June 12, 1957 models, when model #s were assigned replacing model names, only as pre model #s, i.e., .38 M&P Models with the same engineering developments as the Model 10, are pre Model 10s.

Reference to any.38 M&P as a Model 10, that's a pre stamped Mod 10 (or any unstamped model) is a common erroneous use of Model #s.

“A Pre-model is any "named model" that incorporates all design changes that immediately precede when the company adopted the model number stamping system.”

Videos you requested:

SMITH & WESSON MODEL 10 SERVICE REVOLVER PART 1 - YouTube
Note: The part referred to in the video as the crane is actually the yoke in S&W terms. Crane is the Colt name for that part.

SMITH & WESSON MODEL 10 PART 2 - YouTube

Thank you for the welcome and the additional clarifications. This is why I joined the forum to gain knowledge about this, to me, previously unknown firearm.
