I have a 38 Smith & Wesson stubnose, hammerless,
Stamped with serial number: 653777
Also stamped with Airwidht 38 Spl CTG
Passed down from my father.
Looking for honest information about age, approximate value

Welcome to the forum. Does the cylinder of this gun hold five rounds or six?

Is there a letter prefix in front of the serial number? When you swing the cylinder out, do you see a stamp MOD xx where the xx stands for a two- or three-digit number? If so, what's that number?

We can give you some answers, but we need just a bit more information.

And in some circles it's known as a " snub nose "

Images would be very useful for identifying the model and other details. Can you post some images?
