Smith and wesson model 60-9 prefix is cbw4538 , it is not in the 4th edition of the Smith catalog any ideas( I belive its probably 1997 but not sure

S&W manufacture date by Serial Number lookup

4x4RE · April 11, 2024, 06:01 AM

WOW! This thread is still going!

I just got a Model 639 TAT3xxx
Anyone have insight as to its DOM?
It supposedly was bought new and placed in a nightstand drawer for 30+ years until the owner passed away.

MC 1911 · April 11, 2024, 07:21 AM

TAT shows 1987 for semi autos.

gigger14 · April 21, 2024, 08:09 AM

Hi, could someone help me with DOM?
41 Magnum 4” Blue
Serial # AYM2XXX
Model # 57-1

Thank you!

MC 1911 · April 21, 2024, 11:41 AM

AYM shows as 1988.

Greetings, looks like I am one of many who has an old gun of a grandfather's. And it's also nice to carry on a nearly 18yo thread, lol. I have a few pics and will try to post what is pertinent.
1) 38 S&W Special U.S. Service CTG's.
2) Serial #10920X
3) It does have the screw in front of the trigger card
4) Latest patent date on top of the barrel is Feb 6, '06
5) Under the barrel, covered by the ejector rod when the cylinder is closed, there is also stamped a "B" a few spaces before the serial number that isn't in the other places where the serial number exists.
6) Also, on a place covered (when cylinder closed) by the part of the frame descending to the cylinder hinge, are the numbers 36487
7) There is some pitting inside the barrel so I wouldn't shoot it.

Any information, particularly as to type and year of manufacture would be awesome.

Okay, I am struggling to upload the pics. It has a rounded butt, grip of black plastic.

I have an older S&W Model 60, serial number R158xxx. Can anyone tell me in what year it was made ? Thanks . . .

mehavey · May 13, 2024, 07:31 PM

SN's ran from R100000 in 1974 to R190000 in 1977.

So likely 1976 or so.

WmMunny · May 14, 2024, 10:33 AM

Got any idea for a pre-36 Chiefs Special s/n 41xxx?

L-2 · May 14, 2024, 10:54 AM

Post 8541,
No info from the referenced book for that s/n range.

Models: 36, 37, 38, 49, 50 and their pre-model versions 1950-1969 1-786544 (no prefix) Approximate manufactured dates:
1950 1
1952 7369-21342
1953 28916
1955 55050-75000
1957 117770-125000
1962 295000
1969 786544

Supica, Jim; Nahas, Richard. Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson (Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson) (p. 489). Gun Digest Media. Kindle Edition.

Sometimes photos will help of the firearm and its serial number.
I've come across folks who didn't see a letter within a serial number; mis-count how many total digits; not see a stamped model number; or mistake a manufacturing number for a serial number. mistake the firearm for a different size or model.

Regarding the "book", it seems the authors published what info they had at the time and admitted the info could be incomplete, short of erroneous.

Perhaps a 41xxx s/n could be somewhere between 1953-1955, but I'm no expert and didn't write the book.
