Thank you, sir.

Wow! This is quite a thread! A big thanks goes out to you guys helping everyone out. I came across this trying to find info on a handgun of mine and would love to know when it was manufactured.

Model 57-1 N90xxxx

enthdigry · November 26, 2009, 04:55 AM

Looks like post #493 had the info I needed

N790,001 – N932,999...…1980-83

public servant · November 26, 2009, 11:27 AM

Are the model 19 "K" or "N" frames? Anyone know the fair market value of a 19-5 in probably around 95% original condition? The grips have been replaced with rubber and wood Pacmayers. Slight barrel ring and no play in the cylinder. Apparently it's had a trigger job. It's really smooth and light. Much more so that the 686 I used to have. The guy I got it from said it had less than 500 rounds through it. Here's a couple of bad pics. I'm figuring between $400-$450. Am I too far off? (Mfg. 1983...thanks for the help)

Some better pics of the 19-5.

I just came home from Christmas shopping with a gift for the Hubby. S&W model 36 (no dash) serial # AAZ50xx. So many helpful people on this forum...and I am hoping someone would please educate me when this gun was manufactured. (Early 80's ?)

It really wasn’t the gun I had in mind to get for him but the more I looked at it, the more it seemed like that gun should come on home with me. Hopefully he will like it.

LafayetteLA · November 27, 2009, 06:45 PM

Could someone tell me the approximate year of manufacture of a Model 38 with a serial # j6870xx

Thanks in advance

Jim

AAZ50xx

AAF9000 was Made in Oct 1982, and ABL3999 was made in Dec. 1982, so yours was made sometime between Oct and Dec of 1982.

Quote:

j6870xx

J670001-J760000 was made in 1979-1980, so yours was probably made in 1979, although that is a bit of a guess, but certainly it was made in 79 or 80.

Just purchased a S&W Model 66, 2 1/2, with a serial number 6K65xxx. The pistol is NIB, still in cosmolene, and has all papers. I paid $400. Can anybody tell a date from the serial number and give thoughts on the purchase price?

Thanks...

onebadscrambler · November 28, 2009, 01:29 PM

6k65xxx looks like 1975
I think you did very well.

BADSBSNF81 · November 28, 2009, 04:40 PM

I'll buy a 66 NIB all day long and into the night for that price. You got a good deal.

Sodbuster · November 28, 2009, 06:45 PM

I didn't expect to be asking this, but... I saw a nice model 27-2 in a presentation box at the local shop. Owner's manual and all paperwork included, advertised as NIB and it sure looks like it. P&R, bore is spotless. Anyway, the serial number is N6547xx, wondering if anyone can give date of manufacture.

Just found my grandfather's old 38 special ctg, can anyone find the year on this for me? Serial number: v312XXX

Thanks

Radagast · November 29, 2009, 06:36 PM

Jstrickland: 1942-1944.

Jstrickland · November 29, 2009, 09:49 PM

thanks so much

morbid0000 · November 30, 2009, 12:22 AM

Thanks for the reply!!!!
Would this also be enough to tell me which "frame" this is? J/K?

Quote:

.357 stainless with markings under the cylinder hinge, visable when cylinder is open:

65-3 B13 667xx AYT2xxx

Is that enough to tell me what model, year, etc. the gun is?

morbid0000: 65-3 is the model number, and the AYT serial number prefix would date the gun to 1987.
