I was given some interesting info on these two old fellas but no one supplied the dates of manufacture.

From the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson:
Serial numbers 1 thru ~ 163600 ran from Sep 1917 to Jan 1919.
A 1938 shipment of Brazilian guns were serial numbered in the 181983 to 207043 range. Another shipment in 1946 ran in the 207196 to 207989 range.
1994/95.
In my opinion (and many others), the -4 was the best of the 629's. Had all the latest strength upgrades and was pre MIM and IL.
