1926 Eibar S&W M&P 38 Especial clone
I inherited this from my father-in-law last year. From the googling and other research (this site helped quite a bit), I have determined this is indeed an Eibar clone. The serial is 1257X and the 4" barrel is stamped "Year 1926" on the left side just under the front sight. Also on the left barrel CAL.38 ESPECIAL A-H and the little tongue out lion. On the frame where the barrel is attached is the shield w/crown and the lion again. The right side has the Made in Spain stamp just forward of the trigger guard. This is a side opener with a thumb button in front of the cylinder, there is no barrel lug support for the ejector.
The gun is not in firing spec, the mainspring is broken and I believe both parts are inside the grip. It was noted on one of the sites I researched that the pinned in firing pin was unique, as most of the examples I found the pin was part of the hammer.
I do not intend on repairing this revolver and would like to find someone who needs parts for their old clone.
