CHARTER ARMS will remedy without charge any defects due to faulty material or workmanship, during the term of this war- ranty once you. The owner of the gun notify CHARTER ARMS in writing stating the model number and serial number of the gun, a description of the difficulty experienced and the date and place of the original purchase. I have an old revolver that I inherited from my grandfather. It is at Five-shot Charter Arms Target Bulldog in.357 Magnum. I haven't been able to find any serial number lookup to find out what year it was made in.

The bobbed hammer was called the 'Pocket Hammer' in their catalogues. Is your piece an 'Undercover' model?Yes, it was called the 'Undercover' when I purchased it. 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 S&W 36 since late 60's, and one of my friends on the Wash, D.C.
(city) PD department had a blued Charter with spur hammer and a nickel-plated Chief's 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 S&W, I opened up the wallet. Not sure if this is a Undercover or a Undercoverette.
As 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 I'm guessing she bought it in the mid 70's.

I found it in it's original box (with wax paper) wrapped in newspaper. The manual was in the box. There was also a box of bullets with 10 missing. I'm 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. Serial Number is 644XXX. It weighs 16 Oz's empty. It's a nice old gun, looks like it's well made. I never heard of a 5 shoot revolver.
Trigger guard and handle frame look like there aluminum. Hammer looks like hardened steel. Wooden grips. The barrel is about 1 1/4 inches long so I'm guessing it's the 2 inch barrel model I have been reading about on the web.
The 4 scans are the entire manual. So is it a Undercover or a Undercoverette? And when was it made? Well OK, so I should have read the manual. The Undercoverette comes in.32 and mine is a.38, I have a undercover. Thanks for pointing that out Flash.
(It says so in the manual, and I read it many times, it's in the third thimbnail, mental block I guess). I have two Charter Arms revolvers, both in.44 Spl., both with the Stratford, CT barrel impression. The one is a Bulldog Pug, which was purchased new ca Sept 1987 and is serial Number 1018XXX.
