Smith and Wesson serial number search - Page 242

Jim,

Thank you for your feedback. It is a J prefix, both at the handle end and on the box.
I am guessing it is worth about $600 in today's climate. Is that in the "Ball Game" in your expertise..... if I could ask?

I am merely trying to reduce the number of weapons that he had collected. Get them into hands that would appreciate them and out of the attic.

Just got a 686-4 for a more modern / industrial mate to my K38 five screw. Serial is CBW59xx. I'm guessing about 1996? Guy says it was a Colorado jail gun? She sure is rough, but shoots GOOD!

*action isn't as nice as my five screw, however*

Thanks in advance.

That might still be too high. Pre panic, about $400 to $450 in excellent condition.

1997.

Thanks again Jim. I'll try for $500 then

I've got a 66-1 with the following numbers, looking for some help identifying year of manufacture to see what I have here:

SN stamped on the butt of the pistol: "98k99--"
Stamped on yoke under cylinder: "x39x8" and "A15"

It was passed down to a co-worker from his dad was in LE for many years. He asked for some help identifying it. It is a 2.5" stainless combat magnum from the research I've done on this website. Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Heres a couple pictures... any idea what these other numbers mean?

Pics not working... link to album: https://picasaweb.google.com/1002312...eat=directlink

He's thinking about selling. Would you say value somewhere around $550-$600 with box/papers?

Hey everyone. I have my eye on this s&w model 28 with a 4-4.5" barrel serial # 565xxx what is is the going rate and year made? Thanks in advance. A...

The link does not work either.
If you're referring to the other numbers referenced earlier they are assembly and inspector numbers.
A 66-1 in excellent with box and papers - $600 easy.

Quote:

I assume that's N565xxx.
N5xxxxx ran from 1978 to 1980.

Quote:

S# N674447

N6xxxxx ran from 1979 to 1980.

Hello Forum, This is a kool website. I've had these 2 revolvers for several years. I would greatly appreciate info on date and such. One is a S&W model# 586, blue, 5 3/4" barrel, serial # ADC 9XXX. Second one is S&W model 36,stainless, 2" barrel 38 special, serial# J17XXX..Thanks, I posted first and it went to page 244. sorry, Wayne

Hi folks, I need a hand and any help will be greatly appreciated.
Last year I purchased a small collection of four beautiful S&W 940 (to join the 547 couple):

Smith & Wesson 940 2 inches - Serial BKE4756
Smith & Wesson 940 2 inches - Serial BSJ8115
Smith & Wesson 940 3 inches - Serial PKN0135
Smith & Wesson 940 3 inches - Serial BKR6263

I really like them and I'm wondering what year they could be...

Thank you in advance.

Jim,

I recently received a letter from the Orange Count Sheriff Department indicating that they were holding a weapon with my name attached to it. Further inquiring produced information that it was a Model 28-2 with serial number N443xx - a black 6" .357 Highway Patrolman. This was stolen about 34years ago and just popped up!! I'm pretty excited and wonder what the DOB was for this gun? I'm guessing 1975-76 as it went missing in 1978. Also, if it has been neglected, will S&W take them back and refinish/repair back to specs? Any info is greatly appreciated.

Brian

28-2, 66-2, 65-3 info

The 28 has been refinished and is overpriced by at least $300.

The 66-2 had been modified (trigger and sights) and the buyer paid too much for it IMO.

The 65-3, not bad, but still about $100 too high.

Quote:

serial CELxxx

2000/01.

Quote:

serial # ADC 9XXX / model 36,stainless, 2" barrel 38 special, serial# J17XXX

ADC would be 1983 and J17xxx would be 1969/70.
The 36 would be nickel. If it was stainless it would be a model 60.

Quote:

Smith & Wesson 940 2 inches - Serial BKE4756
Smith & Wesson 940 2 inches - Serial BSJ8115
Smith & Wesson 940 3 inches - Serial PKN0135
Smith & Wesson 940 3 inches - Serial BKR6263

BSJ = 1994/95
The others are 1991 and I assume PKN is BKN.

Quote:

serial number N443xx

Serial numbers ran from N1 in 1969 to N99999 in 1972.

My grandfather has a S&W (looks identical to a model 10)...serial #404703 manufacture date and approximate value (been kept in a gun sleeve in a drawer for 40+ years?)

I don't have access to the gun, I am in AL, he is in WV...I am trying to get it into my hands (been doing so for years now)...any help would be appreciated...

Some other numbers on it (where the model number usually is) 31172 (I'm guessing it would be a "part #" of some sort...

xLPlushy · March 7, 2013, 08:16 PM

Thank you Jim!! I haven't bought any of them. I had figured that they were a bit pricey. Your help is always appreciated!

Well, assuming that is what it is, a pre model 10 (38 Military & Police), the serial number dates it around early mid 1920's.

Jim

oplofilo · March 8, 2013, 08:12 PM

Thanks a lot Jim for your kindness and for the precious help!!! When I purchased that 940 I declared the serial PKN as it seemed to me (and as stated and registered by the previous owner that sold it to me).
Since I am almost fifty I am gettin' scared my eyes could have played a nasty trick on me.
The first time I'll take that 940 out of the safe I will examine it very carefully and I really hope I did no mistakes
