The K-38 goes back quite a while and before S&W started using model numbers, the 6' barrel gun was known as the K-38 Masterpiece, and the later 4' barrel version was known as the K-38 Combat Masterpiece. The older revolvers are identified by the number of visible screws, the '5 screw' has 4 side plate screws and a screw in the front of the trigger guard. S&W eliminated the top side plate screw near the hammer, and that is called a '4-screw'. S&W then eliminated the screw in the front of the trigger guard around the time they adopted model numbers, and the '3 screw' gun is what's been standard ever since. Those older 4 and 5 screw guns. If you find one in good shape at good price, don't hesitate to buy it simply because it's an older gun. There are many that prefer them as they were made back in the days when S&W had 'fitters', not 'assemblers', putting them together. And that point is and will be debated forever, my point in mentioning the older ones is so you know that there are many options for getting a K-38. The 4' bbl K-38 'Combat Masterpiece' went on to become the Model 15 and the 6' bbl K-38 'Masterpiece' is the Model 14. Place a WTB post. You never now what might pop up as a result.
