44goon: The N4xxxxx series of serial numbers was used on N frames manufactured from 1977 to 1978. Yours is early in the range, so most likely 1977.
Norseman1: With any luck, we'll be closer neighbors in a few years when I retire and move to a free state. |

I am considering buying a 44 S&W. It says Model 629-4, and the barrel appears to be 6" long. Can anyone tell me what year it was made, and something about the relative quality compared to other years?
Serial # is BRY5xxx |

Of the 629's, the no dash is best as a collectable. After that the -4 is the is most desireable because it has all the strength enhancements and is the last variation before MIM and internal locks started appearing. Jim |

Gentlemen,
Am very grateful that a forum will go to the trouble to date firearms - I know I certainly appreciate it. I have the following 3 J-frames at this time, and would appreciate it if I knew when S&W built them. 1) blued model 49, serial #J640893 2) nickled model 36, serial # J572715 3) model 60, serial # R116019 All are in nearly new condition; I am very lucky to own these fine firearms. I carry the #49 daily. Semper fi, Dave Swaffield |

Help with year and value please
Recently acquired two Smiths. One is a five shot with 14307 on the inside when the cylinder is open and 10843 near the grip. It has about 60% of the original finish left. The other is a six shot with 27118 on the inside and 400992 on the butt. Probably about 70%. Thanks.

Two Smiths
The five shot is a Regulation Police .38 S&W Ctg. After removing the grips to expose the grip butt, there is no number there, but 10843 is on the front strap. The six shot is a 38 S&W Special Ctg and the 400992 is from the grip butt.

Same with your 38 Military and Police 4th Change, book list serial numbers as 241704 in 1915 to 1000000 in 1942. SN 500000 was ~1927 so, 400992 would again likely be early 1920's. Jim |

If someone has a little extra time I would like to know when these guns were manufactured and if possible if any one of them is a collectible.

Model 17-4 s/n 29K25xx 1978/79, likely the former
Model 19-4 s/n 56K67xx 1978/79, likely the latter Model 37 s/n J8508xx 1981 Model 60 s/n ABU09xx 1983 Model 41 s/n A7586xx 1982 Model 41 s/n A5790xx 1979-80 Model 41 s/n TAD68xx most likely 1985 Model 52-2 s/n A5790xx 1979-80 I don't think I'd classify any of them as truly "collectible" (unless perhaps if unfired with box, papers, and accessories), but it's a damn nice collection. |
