Can someone please tell me just what I've got here? It's listed as a "pre 10" at the shop but I'm pretty sure that's not the whole story. It's a K-frame, 5 screw, 38 Special, six shots, fixed sights, square butt, service stocks, bulb on the ejector rod, no address line on the frame, and address/patent numbers on the right side of the barrel. S/N is 247791, no prefix. There is a star on the butt indicating, I understand some kind of work at the factory, maybe a refinish. Mechanically it's fine. Color case on the hammer and trigger looks good. Roll marks look sharp to me...it's just a lousy picture. There are a few scratches and dings. And my wife likes it.





I'm just kinda curious. I'm not really up on some of these older examples. Any idea on a date? I kinda THINK I know what it is and when, but I thought I'd ask.
