I recently purchased a S&W 30-1. It is chambered in .38 Special. I have never seen a 30-1 in .38. Did S&W ever make one? Has the barrel and cylinder been changed? Thanks in advance for any info.

  No & I don't know.
  
  You failed to post photos for us & you didn't give us the SN of the gun. You also did not measure the length of the cylinder. So, all we can do is guess.
  
  The -1 revision was on the J-frame (rather than the I-frame or improved I-frame), so, theoretically it's possible that someone converted it to .38 spec. I think it's more likely that a M36 was mis-stamped.

  I think the 30 was a 32 S&W the 31 was a 32 S&W Long
  
  I think the 32 and 33 were 38 S&W.

  And the 33 was a 5 shot 38 special was't it ? Sounds like a mis-mark.
