Looks like a New Service, an older model with the flat cylinder latch. But it's hard to tell, and I'm no expert.
I was thinking police special, with pencil barrel. But they are very close. If its a new service the grips are not original or its a later commercial gun.
I would have to see serial numbers and markings to be sure. If its an 1892 to 1901 its definately been reblued. They were never that polished originally and rusted fast.

That looks like a Official Police, same frame size as a python.

I concur, I just picked one up off an auction from gunbroker. Mine has a 4 inch barrel.

I have no idea, as I'm not a revolver guy (yet), but that piece is beautiful. I'm going to have to get started into revolvers sometime soon, they are a calling me. I'm starting to think that maybe I will start with some used classic like this.
Yeah it is beautiful. He has owned it for 25 some years he said. Bought it from a friend who rarely shot it. He has never shot it.
It was a little dark, I didn't have my reading glasses and after a few jamesons, it was tough to read the barrel if it even said what the model was
I stopped looking when I saw Colt's..blah blah blah. lol

Good call. Looks like the 6" model minus the factory grips. I am thinking post war model.

In the words of Marilyn Manson- "got a crush on a pretty pistol. Should I tell her that I feel this way?"

Thanks, I need to find some correct grips for it.

.38 Colt, .38 S&W Special, and .38 S&W are three distinct and different cartridges. They are not necessarily interchangeable.
Good luck
Jerry
