Don't know where to put this. Im pretty sure its older than a 1960 but I don't know. So here go some numbers. I would post pics but I don't know how yet. serial no. C 25031. Numbers and letter inside the yoke N above 281 24. Its 38 special with a pinned barrel has wooden grips with checkering and a diamond in the middle, it has five screws counting the one in front of the trigger guard.
fixed sights.

The Catalog says # C1 was from 1948. Next entry is # C223999 in 1952, so it's somewhere in there.
It is probably a Military and Police revolver, later to become the M10.

No what, it's a K frame.

That serial number would have shipped in 1948.

That serial number would have shipped in 1948.

Agreed! 1948 is almost certain, unless it got stuck in the back of the vault for some reason.

Well took her out today and shot her. I was very happy and surprised. Shot Federal round nose lead fairly well about 4 inches high at ten yards, and my reloads about 3 inches high at the same distance. That was with a center hold on a 3 inch target. My reloads grouped better, quite a bit, so I quess its regulated to shoot at 20 or 25 yards. very happy.
