@1970
You will need to call S&W to find out.
Smith and Wesson did not make a model C but did use the letter C as a prefix to a serial number for the models 10,11,12,45,and Aircrewmen.The serial number C353425 indicates that your S&W was made from 1954-1956 before Smith and Wesson started marking there revolvers with the model number on the cranes of there revolvers in 1957.
You will need to check with Smith & Wesson. We cannot tell from a serial number alone, and several models were made in caliber 32 Long. Serial numbers are not unique to one gun, they are unique within a make and model.
S&W did not make a firearm with that name.
No way to answer without a detailed description of all markings and features.
No
1973 is what the sn dates to. It could have been made before that.

44 S&W Special is the caliber, not necessarily the make. If it IS a S&W, the Standard Catalogue of Smith & Wesson will have some information for you. So will S&W Customer Service.
