Charter Arms Pathfinder S Serial Number 3000 HaveEarly guns up to about serial number 3000 have no barrel address.After that they have the Bridgeport address from around 3500 to 315,000.
Course Ive carried and used it so much that theres not much writing on the barrel. Fats Just looked at my 79xx Charter and theres no address on the barrel. Posted by a guy who was researching Charter Arms. As far as accuracy, your guess is as good as mine. A great place to match a picture to it would be a Shooters Bible that has that era. Come join the discussion about optics, hunting, gunsmithing, styles, reviews, accessories, classifieds, and more. The Undercoverette comes in.32 and mine is a.38, I have a undercover.

Charter Arms Pathfinder S Serial Numbers And AddressesWhat I need is which address, what is the serial number (XX is Ok for now), model name, finish and any information about when made or purchased Ive just started and so far I have about 60 serial numbers and addresses. When I get enough info to develop some idea of dates, Ill post and update. I prchased it in 81 or 82, and had Charter put the bobbed hammer and no-snag sight on it. Your piece is Nickel plated - Charter Arms didnt produce anything in stainless steel until AprilMay of 1981. Its good for a research milestone to know that this one is 1967 era. The bobbed hammer was called the Pocket Hammer in their catalogues. It did originally come with the spur hammer, but I sent it back for the pocket hammer. You are right on that name, I just kinda forgot in the two or three years since I bought it - - - LOL. I had a blued SW 36 since late 60s, and one of my friends on the Wash, D.C. PD department had a blued Charter with spur hammer and a nickel-plated Chiefs Special, and it kinda set me afire for having anothe J-frame - but shiny, and when the Charter came out in stainless and at a price vastly less than the prized SW, I opened up the wallet. Research continues. I have about 700 data points and have acquired 25 different examples for hands-on research. I like these 1st generation CA - I carry a 6 shot.38 SPL - POLICE BULLDOG model with a 2.5 barrel, in blue - most of the time. Charter Arms Pathfinder S Manual Says UndercoverAs you can see in the scans the manual says Undercover and shows an exact image of the gun I have. The back page has a picture of a Undercoverette and it looks exactly the same. This was my mothers gun and Im guessing she bought it in the mid 70s. I found it in its original box (with wax paper) wrapped in newspaper. Im guessing she and my father both shot 5 rounds when they bought it at a local gunshop (I know that shop had a range). The box is a generic Charter Arms box with a sticker on one flap with Charter 2 38 SPL and the serial number printed on it. Price sticker says List Price 173.00, Our Price 164.95. I see some on the web going for 300 in good condition, this one looks like new. Wooden grips. The barrel is about 1 14 inches long so Im guessing its the 2 inch barrel model I have been reading about on the web.
