To my knowledge these are the original grips that came on the gun. Eric

As promised, here's a couple pictures. Eric

Engine49guy, I'll get some detailed pics of the stock grips this weekend and post them. And, yes the box does the Pittsburgh Steel logo. Eric

Sure look like the same grips to me as well.

All, Just a follow up on this old post. I have shot several hundred rounds out of this gem and it sure is a sweet shooter. Once again, many thanks to all the folks that helped me out on this journey. I have spent some time on the range with Mrs. V and she prefers this for home defense. We...

David, What an awesome post! Thanks for sharing with us! Eric

Many thanks for your insight. Eric

That's exactly what I did. :D Eric

Alan, Good guess! 476XXX :D Eric

And a few more... The trigger does appear to be hardened, or certainly a different color steel.

Regarding if the grips are Fuzzy Farrant's, I can't add anything to this. There are no markings inside and out.

All, Here's an update on this mystery of this J frame. I did purchase it from my mother today and have it in front of me for further questions if need be. The good news is I found the original box, owners manual, warranty card and grips. Is .38 Chiefs Special Stainless Model No. 60. Inside the...

Bob, New info tonight... First off, my apologies for doling out tidbits of information to everyone. My brother stopped by and took a look for her. I should have got all the intel before I posted. My mother's eyesight is really failing so she's not to blame. I am for not getting it my self. We...

Bob, Understood regarding the stainless issue. I'll see what I can do getting more pictures. I think a trip down to my mother's is in order to get some of this info. We'll get to the bottom of this mystery one way or another. Eric

Ok, we had another chat on the phone and with the cylinder folded open there's a "Z" marking on the front side of the cylinder. No other markings stamped on the cylinder or on the frame where the cylinder slides in. The pistol is most definitely stainless steel. With this info it sounds like I...

it is stainless this I am sure of. I'll chat with my mother tomorrow and ask her to swing open the chamber. Should she look in someplace in particular for markings? Thank you for your reply. Eric

Bob, I do not have the pistol in front of me so I'm getting this info second hand. She removed the grips to obtain the serial number off the bottom inside of the frame. She look closely & there were no other markings inside the grips. She doesn't remember whether it was purchased new or used...

Hello, My mother has a S&W .38 spl that she's going to sell me and could use some help identifying and possible value of. We've done our best to obtain as much info as we could. I called S&W and based on the serial number the tech person stated the gun should have been made around 1957. His...

Great idea! No need to spend money on bags. Save that for ammo. :D

I've always had great luck getting my mags at CDNN.
