Secret Service Special was a trade name used on inexpensive revolvers retailed by the Rohde-Spencer Company of Chicago. The Howard Arms Co name was distributed by H&D Folsom, usually on shotguns made by their subsidiary company, Crescent Firearms, or imported from Belgium. If R-S ordered revolvers from Folsom, they would quite possibly have both names.

Usually stamped on the frame. Swing out the cylinder, and it's below where the barrel meets the frame. Usually starts with a"K", or "1K",etc. On older S&W revolvers, it was stamped on the butt of the gun.

The production year is not stamped on a gun. It is the serial number that is used to tell which batch was made in a particular year. Go to: proofhouse.com for listings.

Open the cylinder and see if there is a model number stamped on the frame. Also, how is 'ATF' marked on the gun? List the markings EXACTLY as they are and where they are on the gun. sales@countrygunsmith.net
open the cylinder, and it should be stamped there along with the serial number
