I have Smith & Wesson number 414xxx

Is the chambering .38 S&W Special (Spl) or just 38 S&W on the side of the barrel? Is it a 5 or 6 shot? Is there a letter prefix or suffix with that number?
Take the serial number from the underside of the frames grip butt.

model 581 #ABJ38XX

1982.

vyj 73xx

5906's ran from 1989 to 1999. V prefixes started in 1994. Yours is likely near the end of the production run.
S&W's customer service can tell you the DOB over the phone for free.

I have a five shot S&W revolver. On the side of the barrel it has 32 S.&W. CTG
Serial number on bottom of grip and chamber is 119175. Various patent dates appear on the top of the barrel the last being AUG.4.85. It also indicates SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS. U.S.A.
Can anyone help with any information on this revolver?

Serial number on bottom of grip and chamber is 119175

Is it a break-top revolver (barrel tips down to load/unload). If so, does it have a grip safety and concealed hammer or exposed hammer?

Jim

[Scurry77]

It is break-top with grip safety and concealed hammer.

Can anyony help me out on the date of my 357 /38 spec, i think early 70's but not sure Ser # AK670XX , or could be 4K670XX
Thank You...

[Scurry77]

Thanks Jim!

[laytonj1]

Ser # AK670XX , or could be 4K670XX

Since the 66 no dash was made from 1970 to 1977, 4K670xx would be the correct SN and dates it to 1974.

[LadySW]

Thanks Jim. Any idea on the value? Have a chance to make a trade for it but the guy says he knows nothing about guns. He originally said it was a .357 but in the pics you could clearly see the .38 SPL markings.

Looking for DOB for my recent inheritance S&W 38 Special 15-3 Serial 16K01XX.

Your 15-3 was produced in 1977. It must have been one of the last of the 15-3s because the 15-4 was introduced the same year.

Thank you very much!!!!!
