I assume it is a 5" Heavy Duty that is most likely a 1931 gun.

Bill (1Aspenhill) will be along in a second to confirm it.

I have one pretty close to yours, .38/44 HD 5" serial# 39259 that shipped August 17, 1932.

HVAC,
38668 left the factory on 13 Jul 1931, so yours probably left in that timeframe. Please send me your serial number offline for my database.
I hope this helps.
