Trying to determine the age of this
Hello,
This is the only gun I own. I'm not a collector or user really, but ...
I inherited a .38 Special from my father, who passed away in 1996. It was given to him by his father circa WWII. I thought it would be interesting to figure out how old it is. My grandfather owned a pawn shop in Pueblo, CO, and he probably acquired it there.
On the right side of the barrel it says, "38 S & W SPECIAL CTG". It has three screws on that same side. The serial number, on the bottom of the grip, is "S 889xxx". It's nickel with Franzite plastic stag grips.
Thanks in advance
