Managed to figure out all mine using Google except one. S&W M38, no dash, SN 647XXX, (on bottom of grip frame, no number other than MOD-38 in yoke cut). I figured out it was a Michigan Police Supply gun because it is blue with the stainless cylinder. Anybody got any info, year and such? Thanks

Smith Wesson SW 40 C
I have an SW 40 C SN PAM 1203 any idea when it was made and what it's worth? I think it's an earlier version. Any known problems with this gun?

JimWood: Are you taking the serial number off the butt of the gun? The numbers you have there don't appear to match anything in SCSW. The SN should be either 1 to 5 numerical digits, or an "L" followed by 1 to 4 digits. If the "1203" you mention is in fact the SN, then it would indeed be an earlier version, likely shortly after the model introduction in 1952. Value depends on condition, but in general Model 40s appear to command higher prices than similar revolvers, with one in excellent condition being worth several hundred dollars.

I don't know much about the Sigma series so I can't offer much help. To get a closer date you'd need to call S&W. They'll give you the DOB free over the phone. Smith & Wesson 1-800-331-0852 (USA) Mon-Fri 8:00AM-8:00PM Eastern Time Jim Last edited by laytonj1; June 19, 2010 at 09:49 PM. |

2) Is it a modern swing out cylinder or top break? 3) If a top break, is it a double or single action and hammer or hammerless? 4) How many rounds does it hold? Jim |

I found a picture of what mine looks like. Not actually my gun. I believe mine looks a little better condition.

brjohnson1543,
It's a .32 Hand Ejector Model of 1903, 3rd Change. Serial numbers ran from 51127 in 1906 to 95500 in 1909. Value, of course, depends on condition and ranges from ~$300 in good to $400+ in excellent. Jim |

Looking to identify two S&W pistols
Milady purchased two pistols from her parents before they passed, and have passed them on to our kids. Both wanted to know when they are made, so I told them I'd ask the experts. Can someone help us narrow down the ranges?
The first is a Military and Police or a Model 10, depending on age. It's serial number is C391xx, and has the number "85972" stamped under the cylinder arm. I think the second is a K38 Target Special or a Model 14 (depending on age), serial K2315xx. It has 72539 stamped behind the cylinder arm. Thanks in advance for your help. |

Military & Police until S&W started stamping model numbers on them ~1957. Quote:
If 6" barrel then K-38 Target Masterpiece until ~1957. 4" barrel was K-38 Combat Masterpiece (model 15). Jim Last edited by laytonj1; June 22, 2010 at 12:05 AM. Reason: added info |

Thanks for the help, laytonj.
My son's pistol definitely a K-38 Target Masterpiece. I'd go back and fix my "Target Special" goof if it weren't already recorded for posterity in your reply... |

I read the first 25 pages looking for the DOB of my S&W 38. No joy.
4" barrel, SN 52830 from the butt, front face of cylinder and behind hooded extractor rod, barrel says 38 S&W SPECIAL CTG. Grip has single screw in the center. On the face of the cylinder it also has B<>, sort of a diamond shape. Non adjustable sights. Any info on age and whether it will handle plus P's would be appreciated. Thanks, AlanLW edit: What is the model number also? Last edited by Glenn E. Meyer; November 30, 2013 at 11:47 AM. |

You have a model .38/44 Heavy Duty. It's a 38 special on a 44 cal (N) frame. This was the forerunner of the S&W 357 registered Magnums. Serial numbers ran from 35037 in 1930 to 62335 in 1941. It was made to handle hot 38 special loads, way above todays 38+P's. The grips are not original. Standard barrel length was 5". 4" and 6.5" are scarce and worth $$$. Measure your barrel from the face of the cylinder to the end of the barrel. Jim |
