Default Smith & Wesson Long Rifle Info Please

Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and I hope that I'm posting in the right place.

I recently purchased a Smith & Wesson 22 long rifle CTG revolver at an estate sale.

I don't know much about revolvers or guns for that matter so I'm going to try to be as specific as possible in describing it in hopes that you can give me some information. I'm hoping to find out the year, make, model, etc.

It has a 6" barrel, double action, it looks like adjustable sites (2 screws for the rear sites), the cylinder releases to the left, it has a spring loaded pin that you push back to eject the casings.

On the left side of the frame, it's stamped SW trademark. On the left side of the barrell it's stamped Smith & Wesson. On the right side of the barrell it's stamped "22 long rifle CTG." On the top of the barrell it's stamped "Smith and Wesson, Springfield, Mass, USA" below that it's stamped "Patented February 6.06 September 14.08" (this is a guess). On the right side of the frame it's stamped "Made in the USA." When you eject the cylinder, the cylinder is stamped "391413." With the cylinder ejected, under the barrel above the cylinder pin it's stamped "391413." On the grip frame, behind the trigger (Where your fingers wrap around the grip), it's stamped with the same "391413."

I've seen on other forums that people have mentioned a stamp on the bottom of the grip frame, there is no stamp on this particular model.

I've also seen other people mention a "K" stamp on the frame when the cylinder is open or on the cylinder and I'm not finding this marking either.

I've tried to be as descriptive as possible, thank you for baring with me as I'm not very knowledgeable about guns.

I will try to post pictures asap.

Any help that you can give me in regards to make, model, year of production, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on recieving a family gun.
I don't know a whole lot about these old 22s but reading in the SCSW it looks like you have a.22/32 Hand Ejector/.22/32 Heavy Frame Target model. The 391413 should be your serial number and these are about the only S&Ws with the number on the front strap instead of the butt, as far as I know.
The serial numbers go from...
1911-1941 160000-536684
1923 numbers reach 384xxx area.
That's what the SCSW says.
If any of this is wrong someone here will correct me.
