Identification and Further Disassembly S&W Model 10 N-Frame?

[jacobyhue]

Good afternoon, I have never posted on any forum but I am really stuck on trying to figure out how to identify/age/clean/disassemble this revolver.
There is no serial number on the yoke, only the assembly number.
1. It is a Hand Ejector
2. Serial Number: 41025
3. Caliber: 38 S&W Special U.S. Service CTG
4. Barrel Length: 5 inches
5. Sights: Fixed

Extra:
No strain screw, No butt swivel, No lanyard ring
5 screws

There is also seems to be Spanish patents on the top of the barrel (see picture)

Thank you for any and all help you can give me!

Welcome to the Forum.

It is not a S&W nor is it an N frame. Looks more like a Spanish copy with a Colt-like main spring.

Looks like it says "Eibar" on the barrel.

I did some digging and it looks like you are right. first revolver I ever purchased and I got the Spanish knock off lol

I concur on its being a Spanish copy. I think it's specifically an Orbea Hermanos.

O.P.s revolver is a Spanish knock-off of a S&W K-Frame .38. Specifically is was made by Orbea Hermanos (Brothers) in Eibar, Spain. Probably dates to 1920-1930's.

The lockwork is Pieper type, typically used by both the Spanish and Belgian makers of revolvers. It is similar to Colt, but not really the same.
