Older Charter Arms Snubby

I have had this old Undercover revolver for a number of years. The serial # is 840xxx and it was made in Stratford, Ct.
Anyone have any idea of it's age/year made? It shoots well, is well made and it was my carry weapon before I got a Beretta Nano.

From another forum apparently an e-mail from Charter:

Quote:
Dear Sir,

We do not have the records for the old models but i could tell you that if you
see on the barrel and if it says Stratford Ct it was made 1970-1980
Bridgport Ct 1960-1970, Ansonia Ct 1990.

Yes we do have Rubber grips and wood grips available for your gun the grip frame is the same so it would fit your gun.
I have one that is older than the one you have if serial # sequence is reliable. The grips on mine are smooth and I like the looks of yours with the checkering. Mine says Stratford, CT on the BBL so it was in the 70-80 timeframe. I bought mine used in the early 1980's, probably 1981. It had been carried but not fired much and it still get carried in a pocket holster as it hides easily and is lightweight. Hope this helps somewhat.

smithnframe is an unknown quantity at this point
Very nice! I have been looking for one of their 44 spl's used to no avail. Will probably buy one of their new stainless ones.

I have two of their early models also...a nickle plated .38 Special Undercover and a .32 "Undercoverette" (supposedly designed lady police personnel according to old advertising) The .32 has never been shot. I do shoot the .38 on a regular basis and it shoots very well. Very solid little gun. Take it to the woods with me every time I go.
