The small frame revolvers, Models 36, 37, 60, etc. were five shot and they were built upon the "J" frame.
The medium caliber revolvers: Models 10, 19, 13, etc. mostly in .38 Special and .357 Magnum were built on the "K" frame.
The larger guns like the Model 29, in calibers such as .44 Special, .44 Magnum, .45 Long Colt, and I believe perhaps .41 Magnum were built on the "L" frame.
Hope this helps.Actually the large frame Smith and Wesson revolvers are based on the N frame.this will include all model 20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,57,and 58.This will include the pre war models of 1917,and 44 hand ejectors,and 455 hand ejectors.This will also include the new models 520,and 629.These are all N frame revolvers.
By the size and features
Needs to be examined by a good gunsmith first.
That all depends on what kind of Smith & Wesson it is.
It is a Smith & Wesson, possibly a model 17 K-22 Masterpiece. They were made from 1947-1993 (in the blued version shown in your photo) and are extremely good target guns.
