S&W did not make this.

Iver Johnson used an owl head trademark for many years. I am not aware of any serial number data available for the company, but if you can identify the model, we may be able to narrow the manufacture date within a decade or two.

As said, your revolver in caliber .38 S&W was not made by S&W, but by Iver Johnson. That CALIBER was invented (and named by) S&W. I have a serial number listing from Mr. William Goforth's excellent reference book, but need more information from you. Please repost your question with ALL markings present on the revolver, and I will try to narrow down the year of production

When did Smith and Wesson make the 38 short owl head serial number 12747?

No. The Owl's head was the logo of the Iver Johnson company. You MAY see a marking such as .38 S&W CTG- but that marking is the caliber- the revolver shoots a .38 Smith & Wesson cartridge (not a .38 Special). ALL guns that shot THAT cartridge were marked .38 S&W, no matter who made the gun. Smith & Wesson owned the name of the cartridge- they invented it.
