i was wondering what year my s&w 38 special nickel plated revolver was...serial number 240975..6 inch barrel with pearl grips 0 -
It is a target model revolver I have one and it is a very good shooter. If it was military it would be proofed and I would think that if it was a police issue revolver it would also be proofed.

the S is off to the left by itself snd the serial number is 8750XX
i did find some more markings on the top of the barrel SMITH&WESSON SPRINGFIELD MAS U.S.A. PATENDED FEB 6.06 SEPT 14.09 DEC 29/140 -
OK. Scratch the last. Because of the "S" prefix I was thinking it was an "N" frame, but Smith also made Post war Pre-model 10 revolvers with "S" prefixes from 1945 to 1948. They also made a light weight version with alloy frame later called the model 12. Your gun is likely a pre-model 10. Smith began using model numbers on their revolvers in 1957.
How long is the barrel?0 -
THE BARREL IS 5" 0 -
Thats sounds about right, they were made with 2" 4" 5" and 6" barrels.
These are my model 10's with 2" 4" & 6" barrels. does it look like these.

yes it looks like yours with the exception that my grip has a horse shoe shaped relief in the grip where the thumb lever is. 0 -
Like this one? This is a larger model 27 with the speedy loader cutout.
