What an amazing resource! I discovered this forum after finding 38 Special ammo would not chamber in my revolver. I wondered why.
It is a Smith & Wesson, V 489572, matching serial number and "p" on frame, barrel, cylinder and inside grip (number only); Springfield Mass on the barrel; U S Property G. H. D on top; and smooth grips. It is tight. See pictures for condition, etc.
From what I have read this was probably shipped about December '43 - January '44 . It appears to be all original. My guess is a factory letter will add nothing to its value. Anything else you can tell me including an estimated value is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
