I want to buy a S&W .22 but the seller do not know the type of the gun
s/n TBZ 13XX

The serial number dates it to 1988 and a semi auto but does not identify the model of gun.
S&W customer service might be able to give you that information from the serial number over the phone.
Otherwise, the current owner should be able the look at the model number stamped on the side of the frame.

I have a 32 Winchester CTG serial # 14707. That's about all I know of it. Just inherited it and I am struggling to find information about it. Any help? thanks!

Since it is a .32 Winchester (also known as .32-20 Winchester) it is most likely a .32-20 Hand Ejector Model 1902, Second Model, First Change. Serial number range for this model is 9812 to 18125, with 8,313 revolvers manufactured. Made from 1903-1905.

Built on the S&W K-frame, most often found with fixed sights (rear sight is a groove in the topstrap). Certainly a collectible revolver, value varies widely depending on condition and features. Examples with factory original adjustable target sights will bring a substantial premium.

I have a new in box S&W Model 28-2 serial N5224xx. It must be what, 30+ years old by now? Bought for personal protection but I had an little .380 and never took this one out. What's the real date of mfg. and what's it worth these days?
Thanks for the help!

smith wesson model 60 AEP6xxx

May pick this up tommorow, I would appreciate if someone could tell me the year it was manufactured, thanks

[laytonj1]

S&W Model 28-2 serial N5224xx

Good guess. Serial numbers ran from N500000 in 1979 to N599999 in 1980.
A true unfired "new in box" would go for at least $650 retail.

model 60 AEP6xxx

1984.

Serial #: 23,XXX
44 Special CTG

Thank you! =)

[Dave Anderson]

Serial #: 23,XXX
44 Special CTG

Appears to be a .44 Hand Ejector Second Model. Introduced in 1915 at s/n 15376, built on the N-frame, without the encased ejector rod and third lock features of the First Model (the famed Triple Lock).

Remained in production until 1940, though manufacture of this model was temporarily suspended (from Oct 22, 1917 to Dec 6, 1920) as a result of changeovers in production to meet wartime demand, and after the war, return to commercial production.

Most likely made in the early-mid 1920s, sorry I can't provide an exact year. Total production of this model was 17,510 revolvers. This example is the most commonly seen model: .44 Special with 6 1/2" barrel, fixed sights, blue finish and lanyard loop.

Certainly it is of interest to collectors though I won't take a guess as to value. Examples of this model chambered for other cartridges (.38-40, .44-40, or .45 Colt), or those with different barrel lengths, nickel finish, and target models with adjustable sights, carry value premiums to collectors.

Dave Anderson:

I appreciate your efforts, thank you. Would you mind looking again? I happen to know the original owner died circa 1950. That's an S&W K22 (outdoorsman) 634xxx.

[laytonj1]

That's an S&W K22 (outdoorsman) 634xxx.

Serial numbers for the K22 Outdoorsman ran from 632124 in 1931 to 682419 in 1940.

laytonj1:

Thank you for the input. So I will advertise it as made in the early '30s.

[Dave Anderson]

JimPage, my apologies for the incorrect information. I assumed you had left off the "K" prefix, as people sometimes do.

I should have known better especially as I have the same model revolver in my collection, mine was most likely made around the mid-1930s. I made a nostalgic video about it, am posting the link here in case you are interested.

Greetings;

New to the forum....(by the way, great forum!)

I'm trying to find out the model and year of a breakdown hammer action .38......Serial# 185xxx

A couple pics are posted here... http://newview10.tripod.com

Also...should I leave it in it's original condition, (keep the patina, etc) or should I clean it up? I'm thinking of finding out a value & selling it.

ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
