It would reduce it. The only way a P38 would have a chrome lined barrel would be as a result of aftermarket work, or by swapping in a postwar P1 barrel, which would reduce its value for having mismatched parts.

Was there ever a p38 pistol produce with a chrome barrel?

The P38 was manufactured during wartime, when simpler, less expensive ways of manufacturing things were sought out. Chrome lining - especially on a pistol barrel - would've been highly unlikely on a P38. If you have such a pistol, what you probably have is a postwar P1 pistol (aluminum slide, rather than steel), or else a P38 with a postwar P1 barrel swapped in.

Serial numbers do not mean a lot- we need make and model. Also- not all revolvers with "38 S&W" on the barrel ARE Smith & Wessons- that is a caliber. And the finish is nickel, not chrome.

Is a 380caliber pistol bigger than a38 caliber pistol?

One can make a pistol much larger than it needs to be, maybe even having an extra-long barrel would make a pistol larger, technically. I'll assume you mean the barrel diameter. Although it would seem that a .380 and .38 would have the same barrel diameter, namely, 38/100th of an inch, that is not usually very accurate. The .380 ACP has an actual barrel diameter of about .35 caliber, or 35/100th of an inch. The .38 Special has a barrel diameter of .357 caliber, or 35.7/100th of an inch. So the .38 Special has an ever so slightly larger diameter.
