I need help the S&W I bought this weekend was labeled as a 1902 but a friend of mine looked up the serial number and it showed to be in the range for a 1905. How do I know which one it is? It is .38 Special or .38 US Service Cart. marked on the 4" barrel with the Maltese crosses. The serial number is 14753x. It was a good deal either way but I want to tag it correctly.
This makes me feel like such a noobie.
