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
Can't answer without the serial number.
Impossible to answer without a detailed description
Yes
For a Smith and Wesson revolver in stainless steel that shoots short bullets, you might need a 380 caliber pistol or a S&W 32 caliber revolver.
Needs to be checked by a gunsmith.
Needs to be examined by a competent gunsmith
Your information was brief, but my information indicates SW only built them for a short period of time and ended manufacture around 2004.
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.
Can't be answered without a DETAILED description of ALL markings, barrel length, finish, grips, sights, box, accessories, papers, condition.
Most likely chambered for 38 S&W
