Photograph would be VERY helpful. Exact info on any markings on gun would not be amiss either.

Hi There,


Welcome to The Group!

Some pictures would be helpful. From your description, it is
hard to tell which model you have. You say it is .38 but not
the type of action (single or double action). You say "BREAK
BARREL." I assume you mean it is a Top Brake type. With a
little more info, we could be more specific.


Cheers!
Webb

A top break with a 3" barrel is a 32 s&w. The 38 s&w has a 3 1/4" barrel
