Looks like the pistol has been photoshopped.
Were there hammerless .38s back then?

Yes. That’s a S&W J-frame Centennial. Introduced in the early 50’s.

Yup and even further back. Think late 19th century. After all it is just a simple shroud.

It was actually a frame out of a film that was taken.

Introduced as the model 49 in 1955. 1955 was a good year for guns, the .44 Mag came out, as did the Colt Python. Also the Combat Magnum later called the model 19.

S&W model 49 in .38 special. And it’s not hammerless, the hammer is shrouded. I used to own one.

It’s not photoshopped. Film show same gun.
