Just a note of thanks to Reddog. It appears that Smith & Wesson made a mistake in the letter on my K-38. It should have said shipped to Frank Colladay Hardware Company, not the Frank Galloday Co, as stated in the letter. Looks to be a simple typo.
Mr. Wilson,
Your gun looks good to me! You've got me wondering, now, though? My gun is #100881. Seems to me that it might not be a 1950? Of course, I suppose they could have shipped 800 or more that month? Thanks for the info!
Dick
What year and model is mine?
It's serial number is 4D64xxx
1979. That serial number ought be on a Model 10-7; you can confirm that by opening the crane and seeing if the stamp "MOD 10-7" appears on the frame under the barrel.
Actually, it says Mod 13-2
It's a .357, didn't state that before.
