38 special question

[Karl1971]

I just recently just came into possession of my dad's 38 and was wondering if someone can tell me anything about it. The serial number on the.bottom of the butt is 5k77706. Thanks. I can be reached at [email protected]. thanks

Sounds like a revolver. You should ask in the revolver forums.

Having said that, according to:

Smith&Wesson K Frame Serial Numbers by year of manufacture

Sounds like it's a K Frame, 1974... 5K73,963 – 6K58,917....1974
