Hi Jim,

Thanks for the work.

I was really hoping to find out if the # 1. S&W .32 Safety Hammerless First Model serial # 77,40x was an antique / made in 1898 or before. Is there any way to tell ???

Does it help if you have the other digits for the # 2. S&W .357 Magnum Post-War (pre model 27) serial # S829xx = S82985 = 1952 ???

And the # 4. S&W model 29-2 serial # N4538xx. = N453816 = 1977 ???

And the # 3. S&W model 42 serial # 124xx flat latch pre"J" prefix has the 4 screw sidplate. Does that help ???

Thanks for any assistance. It is really difficult compared to some other manufacturers.
