66-2, AJWxxxx
I have a 66-2 serial number AJW4XXX.
I have the Standard Catalog of S&W, 3rd edition but do not see serial number 's prefixed with AJ or a range that would include AJ on page 400 of "All Other Revolver Models". What am I getting wrong? Bill |

The V prefix is said to have been added because they didn't want to run serial numbers up into the millions. "Victory Model" is a made up modern collector's term. |

Can you please check on my year and possibly a price? Smith and Wesson model 29-4 serial number BCA 9xxx. I do have the original box and scope rings that come with it. Just trying to get more info as I inherited it when my grandfather passed.

Price depends on condition, if original box and documents are with it and location. As long as it’s not beat up it could range from $750 to over $1K retail. Jim |

Post 8359
Here's what my "book" says about the serial number range. I interpret the "book" saying the S&W revolver in .32 was made between '62 and '69 and likely the later 1960s:
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) (Kindle Locations 16936-16942). F+W Media. Kindle Edition. Disregard this answer. I referenced info for the wrong S&W revolver(s).

It appears to be a 4th Model Top Break .32.
I'm sure those with an S&N book can find the date of mfg. (and correct me on the model if it's not a 4th Model). Honestly, in that condition, it isn't going to be worth much (< $100) so don't over pay for it if you decide to buy it. |
