C-prefix began in 1948.
1948-51 C1-C223998 Yours would fall into this timeframe. The C prefix ended in 1967. |

"C" prefix ran from 1948 to 1967 (C1 in 1948 to C999999 in 1967). Jim Edit: hey onebadscrambler, talk about timing... |

A friend of mine came across a small snub revolver and we have finally identified it as a S&W Terrier (Pre-model 38/32). I am looking to sell it but would like to know approximately when it was made. I know it was made before 1957 because it has no stamping for a model number and the gun was produced starting in 1936.
Serial number is 712XX. Anyone willing to give me an approximate date? |

Another 1- SW owner..
Hello,
I also have only one S&W in the stable.. can someone please date it? I'm thinking it was early '63-'64. It's a K22 w/6" barrel SN= K4026xx I am LOOKING FOR a K38 w/6" barrel of about the same manufacture so that I have a pair.. eventually I may also purchase a K32 |

The .38/32 Terrier (Postwar) (pre model 32) ran from serial number 54475 in 1948 to 122678 in 1974. To get you closer, the trigger guard screw (upper front of trigger guard) was eliminated in 1953 and the upper side plate screw was eliminated in 1955 (from 4 sideplate screws to 3). Quote:

Jim, yes that gets me closer. It's pre-1953 then, because it does have the trigger guard screw. Wow, so it's older than I thought.
If anyone knows a little more about these I'd love to know more about them in general. |

New to this forum
I inheritied my grandfather's S&W .38 Special when he passed away in 1994. He was a mitilitary policeman in the army during WW2 and I initially thought it might be his army revolver. But having read some of the posts here, I think it is most likely a more recent model.
However, the number on the butt starts with 2D30XXX. Inside the revolver arm there is another number with 5 digits beinging with 96XXX. Also on the revolver arm, there is what looks to be an "after market" (for lack of a better word) stamp or engraving. It looks like it reads E13. But I can only read the top half of it. Are there any posts here that mention serial numbers such as this or any type of "after market" stamp/engraving. Are these things typical or can I hang on to the hope that there is something special about my grand dad's gun? |

smith and wesson help
Hey Jim thanks for the help. The second gun is the hammerless so I guess its from 1907. Wow thanks its cool to know that a gun in my safe is over 100 years old.
The victory gun is really cool too. So it could have been carried by a Britsh officer. thanks again. |
