The Model 64-3 was produced from 1977 to 1988; up to 1983, when S&W switched to the current "3 letters plus 4 numbers" serial number format, a 64-3 would have had an SN in the form of 1 or 2 digits, followed by a "D", followed by 5 or 4 digits, respectively. If yours is post-83 it should have 3 letters, not two, and I don't believe an SN starting with a "C" would be correct - they didn't get to "C" numbers until 1996. Is it possible the SN starts with an "A" or a "B"?

.38 S&W
I just acquired a Smith and Wesson that has "Regulation Police" over "38 S & W CTG" on the side of the barrel. The number on the grip is 7791. The number when you open the cylinder is 1358 while the number on the bottom of the barrel is 7791. Any info about this gun would be great. I have no idea the model and I don't know which is the actual serial number.

The chambering is 38 S&W, not to be confused with the more common 38 Special. They are not interchangable. The legal SN is the one on the grip butt (7791). On older guns the SN was also stamped on the barrel, back of the cylinder and a couple other spots. In this case the 1358 number on the frame forward of the cylinder is an assembly number. Serial numbers ran from 1 in 1917 to 54474 in 1940. Yours is likely pre to early 1920's. Jim Last edited by laytonj1; March 31, 2012 at 09:55 PM. Reason: removed the & |

Wow! Thanks for the info! I had no idea what it was. I was thinking maybe a pre model 10. The guy I got it from said it was made in 1919 but I wasn't sure. At least now I can look up the value to see what I got. I knew the cylinder would not hold a 38 spl. The guy I got it from thought it was and when I showed him one wouldn't fit, he dropped the price.

I was wondering if someone could help me out with some information on a revolver. I have a chance to buy a smith and Wesson revolver and I would like to know how old it is. It is obviously and older gun. The writing on it says 38 s&w special u.s. service and the number on the bottom of the grip says 71717. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Wow!
Well, would imagine some folks are tired of looking stuff up but if anyone has "one more" kindness - a S&W Model 18-4 with Serial of 8K261** I've had this for a long time but my old brain doesn't recall - know it is at least 30 yrs old ( P & R'ed revolver). Thanks for the help! |

Picked up a Model 37 sq. butt snubby today. Serial #J930XX
I'm a bit curious as to how old it is, the serial# seems low but it does not have the flat cylinder latch. Looks good, got it for $375 OTD Thank you ahead of time. |

Hey gurus of serial numbers. I was sent here by a fellow member to see when my S&W 469 was manufactured. Granted it is not a revolver but I do own a S&W 642 that will keep it company if that helps ease your conscious.
The serial # is A8632XX Thanks! |
