Its a 7cav 360344 "S" arsenal/armory mold.
Im still doing some research and have learned these stopped production in the early 1950's so its at least that old. Being its a "S" version of the 360344 (better for sizing to smaller 358)
So that tells me the 38 Special was intended usage instead of the earlier 38 S&W.
The bolt on the left block has been replaced (obviously) But its been in this role many years by appearance. The blocks have some damage from abuse. But internals seem fine and align and function perfectly. Casting and Video should be up tomorrow.
I did clean it up a little better then you see here and it was in fair condition visually. I completely disassembled cleaned and re assembled. Its all wiped down in mineral oil waiting on tomorrow.
Any information most welcome!!
