The only way to know for sure when it shipped is to get a letter on it.
The serial number dates to 1980. |

kokopelli:
The information in SCSW on Model 1917s is not very precise - the range on yours is 1917 to 1946, corresponding to sn's 1 to 209971, respectively. Obviously, with its 5-digit sn your gun is early in that period, but I believe contacting S&W is the only way to pin it down. With a revolver of that vintage, and assuming that you don't want the factory letter, you might be able to get the date without having to cough up the $50. The "AIP" in the 6906 sn indicates the gun was part of the "Automatic Improvement Program," (whatever that was), something that applied to early 3rd generation pistols. I can't find any more definitive information on dating, but the production period for the 6906 was 1988 to 1999, so I would interpret the "AIP" to indicate your gun is toward the beginning of that range. |

blustilang: That would make it 1972, the same year that the Model 67 was introduced. The -1 came out in 1977, and involved moving the gas ring from the yoke to the cylinder.

Hello all. I've inherited a Smith & Wesson that belonged to my Grandaddy's Uncle. He was a police officer in Cleveland and was killed during a hotel robbery, anyway this was his side arm and everyone in my family who knew his story is now deceased. So if anyone can help with the age of his revolver would help out alot. Its a Smith &Wesson 38 special there is no model# but the serial# is 215xx. Thanks for the help.

The number on the butt of the gun is 683903, no letters. The other number i got (21506) was stamped in two places directly opposite of each other when you open the cylinder. Thanks again and please excuse my ignorance.

w houle: A Model 10-9 will have a serial number starting with a 3-letter prefix, followed by 4 numeric digits. The serial number is always stamped on the butt in modern S&W revolvers, and often appears inside the yoke cutout as well. Other numbers stamped in various places on the gun (usually in places you don't typically see them, such as the frame inside the yoke cutout or on the back of the cylinder) are most often "assembly numbers" that are used to keep track of fitted parts during manufacture and assembly. However, the number you list would be an unusual assembly number, in my experience - where is it located?
SRTTECH: You have a .38 Special Hand Ejector Military & Police (which became the very popular Model 10 when S&W went to assigning model numbers) from the 1915 to 1942 time period. That serial number would place it toward the end of that range. The other number you listed (21506) is almost certainly the assembly number (see above). ETA: SRTTECH - my comments assume (without facts in evidence) that it's a 6-shot. If that's not the case, then please ignore. |
