S&W Revolver Identification Needed

[IndyPrepper]

Hey all -

I was helping my grandparents paint there living room last weekend and stumbled upon gun cleaning solvent in a closet. I have never known my grandparents to have this kind of equipment so I asked why they had the solvent. Turns out my grandfather indeed has a handgun. I was told it was his grandfathers. We tried to locate it but unfortunately we couldn't find it.

Well I am happy to report it has turned up and I had the chance to check it out this evening. I am now told they believe this was my grandfather's great grandfathers gun.

Haven't been able to locate a serial decoder (375316*)so any help would be appreciated... Also posting some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Enjoy !

The guys over there will have the answers to all of your questions. Looks like a nice find and even nicer if those are the original grips

Smith Number 1,2 or 3 will get you in the right direction. Nice. Lots of variations if I recall correctly. Good luck.

Next step....keep it out of that leather holster before any more finish degrades!

Nice little family heirloom. They aren't worth much even in great shape. Yours is a poster child for not storing a handgun in a leather holster.
