Gents, Thanks for the info., have printed it out ans will mail it in. John.

OK have tried again, gone over everything (my address, email, phone #, etc.) with a fine tooth comb. Still nothing!!!! So what do I do now?? Is there someone at the ATF who can help and how do I contact them to get moving forward? John.

Gents, I just tried the ATF link above and the while it will let me type my information in when I try to submit the info a box pops up saying my info, or amounts, are invalid. But everything is as it should be so any idea what's going on??? John.

If your ever interested in selling it look me up!

Thanks gents, I do like it quite a bit. Makes me wonder how it got from here to there and back again in such wonderful condition?? Looking at the recoil shield there is barely any markings from fired shells, and the lockup for both barrel to frame/cylinder, are like a bank vault which leads me...

More pics.

All, Meet my newest Smith family member...a very nice 4th model (I believe) DA .38! English prooved and marked on the barrel "Cogswell & Harrison, 111(or perhaps 741) New Bond Street & 226 Strand, London. Blue, case colours, mechanics, bore, grips....all in great shape!! My third Smith in...

22, I have a gent loading some .44-40 black rounds as we speak. Will save the Trail Boss loads for my Pedersoli Lightning Rifle! John.

Gents, Hope you don't mind me eavesdropping on your conversation, but I'm finding the whole affair rather fascinating! Anyway, the reason I'm posting is to address Dean's last paragraph of the above response...in that he is correct in his assertion that the two would not be interchangeable...

Dean, Yes I'm 100% positive about the cylinder length, but only because I have the Frontier model I recently purchased to put it up against. As you can see, the cylinder on the Fontier model (left) is noticably longer than the one on the First Model (right) John.

Deadin, Thanks for the tip on the barrel extension, it is the same full # as on the rest of the gun, so if it isn't a 7 whatever it is has been stamped on all parts with the serial #! Photo attached but just barely discernible, using the camera on my phone so I appologize for the quality...

Gents, On to the serial number....I have looked at and taken pictures (attached) of the cylinder and stirrup latch, both having the same number as the frame. If it is indeed not a 7 and rather some other figure can someone explain to me what that figure is and represents? The cylinder has a...
