Welcome to the Forum, LickyBubba.
S&W kept track of shipping dates, not build dates. Your revolver was probably shipped in 1951.

Trying to determine age of 38 S&W Special CTG
I inherited a 38 S&W Special CTG nickel with mixture of light and dark plastic(?) grip. 4" barrel, 6 slot revolver chamber. Serial # inside by ejector is 51656 with a "Q" above and to the right of it. The serial # on the base of the handle has been filed or chiseled off. My father was in WWII, but he may have inherited it from my uncle who was also in WWII, Korea and head of Procurement for Pentagon around late '60's to '70's. my grandfather was in WWI. Don't know who owned it. Any help on the age and the type of 38 ammo I should use would be appreciated.

Wow! A five year old thread. Ever notice the button at the top left "New Thread"? It all becomes kind of funny. This forum has got to be the best of its type on the internet and its members are the most tolerant. The Administrators, Moderators and members are great. I plead guilty, as this should be in "The Lounge". But my grandfather did leave me a CTG.
Sorry, I could not resist. Now, should I hit the Submit Reply button or not? Oh what the heck.
Sorry, I could not resist. Now, should I hit the Submit Reply button or not? Oh what the heck.I'm getting quite a charge out of someone hijacking a thread and then someone says they ought to start a new thread but then goes ahead and answers the question. Seems to me that's like trying to train a dog to do his business outside, but when he doesn't gives it a treat and says "Good Dog!"

It's an old thread. So what? I enjoyed it. Actually I found it a lot more interesting than a half dozen individual "I've got a Smith & Wesson 38 CTG...what's it worth?" treads.
Shoot, I've got a 38 CTG on layaway myself. Plan to get it out in a couple of weeks. S/N 678XXX...no prefix.

I just noticed a few CTGs lying on my work bench. I wonder if any of them are collectible? And whether any are rare? How much are they worth? 
Cajun bass,
I think your missing my point. I think it was Pavlov who ran some experiments where he fed dogs and rang a bell at the same time. Soon all the dogs came running at just the sound of the bell.
So why do people complain when someone hijacks a thread and someone else complains about the fact and tells the poster to start a new thread, but then proceeds to answer the hijacker?
Personally I would like to see a new thread for each gun even if it's on the same caliber, as it is on this thread I have to wade thru 40 messages now to see if a gun being asked about is something maybe I would be interested in. With a new thread I can see right off the bat whether I would be interested.
I'm sure any message now someone will ask how come I'm hijacking this thread for a topic that should be on a separate thread!
And you waded all the way down here to see it too didn't you? Been nice if it were on a different thread and you could have looked and passed it by if you weren't interested.
