As you probably know, the Model 60 is the stainless version of the Model 36 Chiefs Special, and it was S&W's first stainless revolver. The "R" serial number prefix is a little unusual in that it was used only for the Model 60 and for early production runs of the somewhat obscure Model 651 .22 magnum rimfire kit gun. The Model 60 was introduced in 1965 and remains part of S&W's current product line, available both in .357 and in .38 Special +p only, and can also be had with adjustable sights and a longer barrel.

Thank you. If you were to put a value on this particular s&w what would that be.

Assuming it's in nice shape with the original grips (stocks, in S&W speak), I'd say +/- $450

I picked up a used model 10-10 earlier today. I've been told it was an Australian police trade in, but have no way to confirm that.
Serial number BKZ52XX. Can one of you fine folks tell me the year and anything else that shows up with that serial? |

Prices on N-frames have been escalating rapidly lately. Based on the condition you describe, I'd say somewhere around $650. Wow, thanks a bunch FlyFish. I really appreciate your help in this. |

S&W .38 Special CTG - Serial Number help requested
Hi...newbie here, with another gun from a grandfather!
.38 Special, Serial Number 26XX. You can see the ID on the barrel in white; I'm pretty sure my dad did that with Liquid Paper (the sights are also touched up that way). The story was that this dated to WWI, but I honestly don't know. Was passed down from my grandfather to my dad and then to me. Thanks in advance! -Glenn Last edited by Glenn E.

.38 Special
Flyfish,
It is a six-shot. The cellphone pic doesn't show it well, but there is a S&W logo just above the handle (it's faint, but definitely there). There are only four digits in the serial number. I debated blurring the last two out, but wanted to stay in the guidelines of posting serial numbers here. The gun has been kept in excellent condition. My father was an excellent marksman and always took care of his weapons. It hasn't been fired in 20 years. Thank you for looking into this! Added comment: After reading your comments and looking further on the Internet, this gun looks a lot more like a Model 1905, 4th change. I still can't explain the serial number issue.

The serial number should also be stamped on the underside of the barrel near the frame and on the back of the cylinder. See if those are also 26xx. If not, I have another theory. Jim |

Jim (laytonj1),
Bingo. The serial number is a six-digit one: 6826xx. The last four digits matching those on the butt of the grip. So, the mystery is: why would the first two digits be missing? I read an earlier message where someone noted that their gun had a round spot where a lanyard might have been mounted but was filled in. That describes the condition of my gun handle also, but that would make it seem that it was done aftermarket and then reversed. The other possibility is that someone faked the lanyard hole after removing the first two digits of the serial number. Still doesn't make any sense to me, but I think I have a better idea of the gun's age (late 1930's, based on earlier posts here). Thanks! -Glenn Last edited by Glenn E.

I'd noticed what appeared to be a filled-in hole for a lanyard ring in your photo and thought briefly about whether there might have been part of the serial number in that location, but it honestly never occurred to me that someone would drill out part of the number - obviously after market, as you say. I don't know what the legal status of the gun might be - if the only serial number were on the butt, as is the case for many guns, it would definitely be a rather serious federal crime to possess it. In your case, where the number also appears un-defaced in other locations, I'm not sure.

At the same time, look to see if there's also an "M" stamped in that area. The 686 and 686-1 models were part of a recall that also included Models 586, 681, and 581 to correct a condition with the firing pin and bushing, which could cause the gun to lock up when firing certain hot loads. My understanding is that S&W will still do this fix at no cost, and will also pay for shipping both ways. Not everyone has the problem and not everyone has the modification done. My recommendation would be to get it done if needed, and absolutely get it done if you ever anticipate using the gun for SD. There's a thread currently running about 686 values that you may want to check out. Although there are differing opinions, my sense is that depending on condition and where you're located, value could range from around $500 to $650 or so.
