Hello,
My dad just passed his S&W down to me. Model 27-2, Serial N611XXX. Any information about this beauty would be much appreciated. Other than slight wear at the muzzle, she looks awesome and hasn't been fired much. Thanks in advance, agdrummer |

I just acquired a Model 19-3 S/N 2K35186. I tried to find out the manufacture date of the piece so searched for serial number look up and it pointed me to this site. As I went through the posts I can see why, there are some very knowledgeable people on this site on the S&W models and serail numbers.
Could you guys kindly let me know what the manufacture date? Is there a website I can look up additional information about the M19, like where it was old originally for example. Thank you in advance for your help. |

S&W Serial Number
Hello, I just placed a MINT S&W Model 10, 2 in barrel on layaway. Looks like it has never been fired. The blueing is in perfect condition and the wooden grips still retain their shine.
Could you please tell me the age of the weapon. S&W Model 10 2 in # 10D94XX P.S. Also, could you please tell me the age of Model 18-1 # D9387XX Thanks much! Jonathan Last edited by Jonathank1982; October 22, 2008 at 03:51 PM. |

Hi, I am trying to find some info for my Dad regarding the history and year of his Smith and Wesson revolver.
I am unable to find a model # anywhere. I believe it's a 4" Barrel and says .38 S&W Special CTG. It has a hand ejector button on the side. The S/N is V136XXX Thanks for any Help. Ken Last edited by kenrcrane; October 30, 2008 at 01:58 AM. |

I just picked up Smith & Wesson Regulation Police CTG in .38s&w. The serial number is close to 23XXX. Just using the blanket serial number coverage for this shows it to be made from 1917-1940.
Can anyone else give me a little more information on this piece? I will send off for the S&W letter on November 1st when they allow applications again. Thanks! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

The 38 Special Victory model. The "V" prefix stood for Victory as these were made for the military during WWII. These are a early version of what went on to become the model 10 when S&W changed to model numbers in 1958. Quote:

![]() FWIW your gun should have smooth walnut stocks, a lanyard loop on the butt, and a tiny "flaming bomb" U.S. military acceptance mark on the butt in front of the loop. Most Victories in this timeframe had "Black Magic" finish, which is a matte finish similar to parkerizing but more dark grey than black, and it tends to be thinner and more easily scratched. ![]() Also look for other marks; Victories used by the U.S. Navy were frequently marked in a variety of ways, and these guns were also issued to guards at various wartime production factories, so they can also be found with markings for various U.S. corporations. However, guns marked "U.S.M.C." were reposrtedly used by the U.S. Maritime Commission, not the Marine Corps. ![]() |

Another search...
Inherited my grandfather's revolver recently.
It's a heavy (N-frame?) S&W .357 w/a 6" barrel. I'm assuming a model 27. I think purchased in the 50s, but don't really know. Don't have the original box or manual. SN: S108xxx |
