Identify S&W with no model number

Additionally, if you’re looking for period correct grips, contact Triple K out of San Diego. They’ve got a web presence. It’s a family business, their name is Krasne. KKK products is prolly gonna be a different thing. I’d bet they’ve got period grips for that gun. Lotsa great Gunleather too. Grips and oddball magazines are their thing.

Since dates are an issue on this thread, I could be wrong, but my Father in Law flew B-25 Liberators in WWII and I think I remember him telling me that the U.S. Army Air Corps became U.S. Army Air Forces in 1941 or 1942?

I found this in my reference stuff. It probably needs to be verified by one of our experts...

From Wikipedia;
The Air Corps became the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) on 20 June 1941.

I do a lot of Veteran events and our memories are not 100% correct.

Out of curiosity now that I have the complete biography of this weapon, whats the value?

I’m not sure how many firearms you have in the Gun Safe.

It is a perfect Home Protection revolver but at 80 years old I have a newer revolvers for carry and Home Protection. But I take the old ones out for a day on the shooting range. It is a keeper in my book.
