What do you guys think?

Just happened to stumble upon this while cleaning out my attic. It's a 38 SW DA only, and from the best I can determine probably ages back to 1930ish. Just figured I'd see what anyone may know.

I think it's mine.

I'll send you my address so you can send it back to me. Let me know what I owe you for shipping.

Other than that without some more detailed info, maybe pictures, and specific questions it's hard to answer anything else.

Oh, and welcome to the board and thanks for finding my pistol!

Sure, just give me your FFL dealers contact info and we will get the ball rolling, lol. I'm trying to determine what the going rate may be, and two just any history on this series firearm, from what I've found out it was S&W's first DA only hammerless pistol. Patent dates state 1880 as a date, but unfortunately this is all I know.

One pic will be worth about 30 more posts.

That being said I think I'm going to go clean my attic.

Thanks for the laugh. Classic m4carbine response.

The SW in "38 SW" stands for "stealth weapon." I've got one around here somewhere but I can't find it right now, I made the mistake of putting it down before I put it back in the holster and now I need a metal detector to find it!

This pistol will not chamber a .38 special, but takes the .38 Smith and Wesson which is a shorter cartridge, so thats where 38 SW came from, perhaps 38 S&W wouldve been less confusing.

Retrying to upload the pic since it only shows from my end

These are gaining popularity again in the Cowboy Action Shooting Circles....Here is a pic of one that I have...Mines actually an Iver Johnson Owls Head in .32 S&W Short.

If yours is tight it might still be a shooter.
