And you would be correct. 1960 to be exact.
SN's ran from C429741 to C474148 that year.

Howdy folks!

I recently bought two S&W revolvers (I have never owned any revolvers before).
I was hoping if someone can help me with some info on the revolvers like manu date/exact model. Will load up some pictures later.

The previous owner stated that these two revolvers were S&W Hand ejectors one 38-40 and the other was a 38.

Both guns are of a 5 screw version s/n are engraved on the bottom of their handles and cylinder. There is no letting in the s/n, on the barrel there's an engraving of "32 Winchester CTG"

1st gun s/n = 197xx
2nd gun s/n = 252xx

If one is a 32 Win. then what is the chambering of the other? It should also be stamped on the side of the barrel. I assume both are 6 shot. Will need to know which gun has which serial number as S&W used the same serial numbers on different models.

Jim

playboyoncrack · March 14, 2017, 09:10 PM

Yes Jim, both are 6 shots and also both engraving of "32 Winchester CTG"

1st gun s/n = 197xx , has a patient date ending Dec 07.01
2nd gun s/n = 252xx , has a patient date ending Jul 07.03

**Mal H** · March 14, 2017, 10:27 PM

It's puzzling that the previous owner thought one was a .38-40 and the other was a .38 since they are clearly both .32-20 M&P (fixed sight) revolvers.

playboyoncrack · March 14, 2017, 10:47 PM

Thanks Mal H, for helping me.

**Mal H** · March 14, 2017, 10:53 PM

I removed some of the data from my post. I think I was looking at the wrong info. The more I looked at it, the more I think they might both be Model of 1905 revolvers.

Someone with the Standard Catalog (Supica & Nahas) reference will soon be along.

1st gun is a .32-20 Hand Ejector model of 1905. Serial numbers ran from 18126 in 1905 to 22426 in 1906.
2nd gun is same model but a "1st Change". Serial numbers ran from 22427 in 1906 to 33500 in 1909.

Thanks much Jim, the 2J one was a scratcher more so than the other.

The N2xxxxx numbers ran from 1974 to 1977. Your's would likely be 1974.

supercub99 · March 27, 2017, 01:38 AM

Jim, On the 2991xx, the 36 (model) is stamped on the fore strap. What's interesting is you can see the 6 has been stamped over a 2 and to the right of that you can see a - something was ground off. Would it be a good assumption considering the change from the model 32 I frame (improved) to the 36 that there was an overlap and some 32's were re-stamped 36?

The serial number is too high for a model 32. Could you post or email some pictures?

Jim

supercub99 · March 28, 2017, 10:29 AM

Jim, Here's about the best picture I can come up with. It's hard to see with just a picture, but it clearly is a 6 restamped over a 2. To the right of that you can see the remains of a dash something that was ground off. I think this was a case of either a miss stamp or a left over 32 frame restamped. Just an oddity, and I have no doubt it was done at Smith & Wesson vs later...

Here's what it looks like with the 2 drawn in.

Hello! I have a minty 15-4 Masterpiece SN K3994xx. Any idea of the year of making? Also I know you don't usually but is this generally worth $500, $1000 etc. Highest Regards and thanks.

supercub99 · March 29, 2017, 01:22 PM

I believe you are looking at a 1960 birthdate with that serial number. Value wise I would look at Gunbroker and see what they are going for there. It's usually a good indication and don't just look at asking, look or monitor a few to see what they eventually sell for. I'd say your looking more at the $500 end than the $1000.
