I just came across a pinned and recessed S&W Model 57. Serial number is N876xxx.
N8XXXXX ran from 1980 to 1983.

I recently inherited a Model 67-1 .38 special stainless. Could you tell me the born on date, and maybe what it's worth, it's used - signs of light wear but taken care of. Oh, and is it safe to use +P loads? Serial# AVC7XXX

Also, it says on the barrel ".38 S&W Special CTG, what does the "CTG" mean?
AVC7XXX = 1987.
Values range around $300 to $400 depending on condition.
+P's are okay but might accelerate wear with extended use.
CTG = cartridge.
