Your family has a Model of 1899, 1st Model Military & Police, Army & Navy revolver from 1902. This revolver was designed specifically for the.38 Special cartridge (CTG) and was initially released for sale in 1899. S&W hoped to capture the military market because the U.S. Government cartridge at the time was the.38 Long Colt which was anemic. For example, a serial number may read 281303. Use a magnifying glass if needed. Find the Smith & Wesson logo on the wood handles. The Smith & Wesson logo is a stylized 'S' overlayed on top of a stylized 'W'. Count the number of chambers on the revolver. The.38 Special CTG is a six-shooter.
