I would like to have more information on this S&W 38 CTG. It's serial number is 4550. PAT'D AUG.4.96.DEC.22.96.OCT.8.01.FEB.6.06. What could it be worth and where could I find ammo for it? Below is the link for the picture.

Hello Radi,
It looks like a Smith & Wesson Perfected Model. There were about 59400 manufactured between 1909 and 1920. The thing that made them unique is that they had the top break type of lift up barrel release + the left side thumb release of the hand ejectors. The ammunition is still manufactured by several of the major ammo companys and should be available at most of the larger sporting goods stores. It is tough to tell the condition from your picture, but they do not command a particularly high price because they were fairly common.
regards,
Mark

Thank you CFlier; I could find any information on the gun and now I know what it is.

Thank you again.
