Ms B just got one of her Dad's spare service revolvers from his estate. This Model 60 is a SS snub nose .38 w/ fixed sights. Wiki says it's the first regular production SS revolver and the reviews call the early ones 'classic' and all gave it very high marks. Question is, what exactly is it? What is the key to dating it? Like to have full specs to add to the inventory list.

The model 4040PD in particular breaks multiple model numbering “rules” and seems to have been given its name arbitrarily. Letter suffixes are another detail to watch for.
