I need some help identifying the above pistol please. There is no model number listed anywhere and I have been reading multiple post's trying to identify. I have narrowed it down to an "Early model 15" or model 67. No model stamp on crane. She's a beauty with exceptional trigger. Paid $425 for her at Tampa gun show. Please help!!!!! Here is the 411

6 shot
Marked 38 special CTV
Serial number K168XXX
Adjustable rear sights

Welcome, and look here:

It's chromed (maybe 5 screw). The gun might have/may have even been chromed after it left the factory.

As the M67 was a SS revolver. And, on the early SS offerings (w/adjustable sights), well, the rear sight was left in white SS. Not, blackened. You can/could probably eliminate that possibility.

Aloha, Mark

Should read CTG .......stupid auto correct.

1952. If it is a .38 then you have a K38 Combat Masterpiece. It is a five screw. Very nice. If factory nickle there will be a "N" on the grip frame and on the flat part of the barrel above the extractor rod.

I just realized the trigger and hammer are chromed as well so it is a chrome finish and not done at the factory. Still a nice looking CM.

Thanks Mike. You were too quick for me. For it's age it sure looks great

I agree. I got a chromed 1941 M&P .38 and it looks great.

Wow...sweet piece. Nothing like a smith. Love my wheelguns. Just got a model 581 no dash 357 that looks just like the 38. Thanks for all the info
