The guns made since have had good quality control, and the company has regained its earlier reputation for quality and reliability. It's a nice old gun, looks like it's well made. Price sticker says 'List Price Serial Number is XXX. 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. 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. There was also a box of bullets with 10 missing. I found it in it's original box with wax paper wrapped in newspaper.
This was my mothers gun and I'm guessing she bought it in the mid 70's. The back page has a picture of a 'Undercoverette' and it looks exactly the same. As you can see in the scans the manual says 'Undercover' and shows an exact image of the gun I have. It is very accurate and works like a charm. I like these 1st generation CA - I carry a 6 shot. I have about data points and have acquired 25 different examples for hands-on research.
