One other thing that I am curious about, mine has a marking that is not on your example. On the left side at the top of the trigger guard mine has a stamping. It looks like 2 crossed swords with "M" on one side and"P" on the other. There is a "2" in the lower part of the crossed swords. any idea...

I do not have any bulged cases. It still has a tight look-up with very little end shake. Even so, I will not be taking it to the range anymore after reading this! Thanks again.

I will email them to you. Thanks SaxonPig!

The chambers are not stepped. I have taken some photos. Now I have to recruit my wife to figure out how to post them. Thanks for all the info so far.

It does not have a locking lug. I hope to have some pics up soon. By the way, it shoots to POA at 25' with 158 grn semi-wad cutters. It is very accurate and has a butter smooth DA trigger (9.5lbs on Lyman Trigger Gauge) and a crisp SA break (3.8lbs).

This does not look to to have been altered. It has a crowned barrel and the sight looks to have been original, almost as one piece with the barrel. I will try to get my wife to take a digital photo and try to post it here. I was hoping that the serial number would tell more about the origins.

I inherited my Daddy's S&W 38 snub. I remember him telling me it belonged to a friend that had been a colonel during the war. This was his friend's pistol during WW2. The serial number is V763715. Any info would be very much appreciated.
