Jerry,
Check to see if you have this one from 1940. I only have half the original stocks.

Thanks for this good work you do so willingly.

One for the list, post war serial #S144679. Nice gun except for the rust pitting at the front sight base.

I've got a couple of 1950 model 38/44s that may not be in your data base yet. The early one is S77666 with a 5" barrel and a mid 50's (I think) S145105 with a 6 inch barrel & high polish. No pictures yet...Rick

Jerry, See post #41
This is a little late, but I suspect you might need the serial number? "59398"

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Good looking guns there guys! Mine is a Outdoorsman S79810.

 

[tlay]

Hi Jerry. I was looking up info on my 38/44 Outdoorsman. It belonged to my uncle who was a deputy sheriff before and after WWII.
It's serial number is 530XX, stamped on the butt and inside the cylinder ejector shroud.

With a 6.5" barrel, it's the most accurate .38 revolver I've shot.

I've attached a few photos.

I'd be greatful for any information you can give me. Thanks

The grips are not correct, hope you have the pre war stocks that came with it. Other than that it's not a bad looking OD, you have the box as well, pre war OD boxes are hard to come by.

Overall nice gun!!

 

[Skeetr57]

Two more for your files: Pre war # 41808 and post war # S99371. Sorry, no pictures.

I have S78925 for an OD and S75186 is my 4"HD. Just picked up the OD, be interested to know if anyone can identify the thumb rest grips on it. Also I'm thinking 1950 for approximate DOB?

Post some more pictures of the grips and perhaps we could ID them.
