Smith and Wesson serial number search - Page 107

sho'nuff · February 27, 2010, 01:11 PM

I recently came into possession of a:

"38 s&w special
& Us Service"

serial: "531xx" located on bottom of the grip

Looks old like 1920s. Only marking are those in quotes that I can tell.

Any ideas of what this is and about how old? I know value is subjective

Are there any markings to indicate who made the gun?
Probably need pictures for this one.

Thank you Jim. I really appreciate you taking time to share your knowlege. I'll try to upload a few images to see if you can tell me what the condition is.

Could someone please lookup K-22 K607xxx. Belonged to my great grandfater, but he probably purchased later in his life. I think mid 50's?

Thanks for the help,
Ryan

About a decade later - 1965.

522XXX would likely be around the late 1920's.

I have a K-22 SN K129XX top and a K-38 SN K260XX bottom purchased by my dad new for $65.00 each in 1948. Both guns are five screw models with the single line "MADE IN U.S.A." stamped on the right side of the frame. I believe they are both of post war manufacture either 1947 or 1948. Can anyone provide the exact year of manufacture? Thanks.

FlyFish · March 1, 2010, 09:23 PM

Captain Nice:

K-22 SN K129XX: 1947
K-38 SN K260XX: 1948

ETA: I should have looked at the picture first. Wow! Those are a real pair of beauties.

kaltblitz · March 2, 2010, 12:52 AM

When would a S&W 27-2 with the SN N4913XX have been made?

Howdy,
Great thread and very imformative.
I didn't go through all 107 pages of this thread, but I do have a question on the approximate date of manufacture of a S&W 442-2 No-Lock that I just purchased new from a dealer who told me it was a new production piece. But, while looking through the various forums on the web I now wonder about it's actual age. The S/N is CNL4XXX. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Don
