That said, 4506's were made from 1988 to 1999 with the -1's coming in around 92. S&W's customer service would be able to give you the DOB over the phone for free. Jim. |

I don't know of any way to find out how and by whom the gun has been used, other than talking to those who might know. If you want to spend $50 you can get a letter from Roy Jinks, S&W Historian, that will provide a bit more information on the gun, including which dealer or distributor the gun was initially shipped to, and the exact date. The so-called "factory letter" is typically only done for guns with some collector value, but if you want to spend the money S&W will be happy to tell you what they can.

SW 32 Long Date
Can you tell me the mfg. date of my SW 32Long, serial number 6299XX? It is a nice piece with a little rust on the barrel, no pitting.
Bluing is probably about 80 to 90 %. Round grips. Thanks for any info. PhilH |

Help with my serial number
First time to post here, hope it won't be the last. I'm just getting into pistols/revolvers and have picked myself up a nice Smith and Wesson model 64 from a gun show, but not sure much about it.
The serial number is CJF 5XXX and it had 64-8 as well. Any info on this gun would be appreciated. -KevinVan |
