When I open the cylinder there is a 10-6 number and on the butt of the gun the Serial # C659xxx

Also I've seen some really nice aftermarket grips (hogue/pachmayr) that I might want to add. What size frame do I have? I think K but I'm not 100%

1963/64 and it's a "K" frame. As for the finish... ?????

so i have an old smith and wesson with the serial # of 13085 with a star after the numbers, on the barrel it says 44 special CTG and the other side of the barrel has a bunch of patent #s. the gun is nikel. from everything ive seen reaserching online i think it is a triple lock but im not sure.

Pixs help, but the serial number and caliber would make it a .44 Hand Ejector 1st Model (Triple Lock) made in 1913. The "star" suffix indicates it went back to the factory for repair and/or refinish.

thanks jim, i had found awhile ago that it went back due to the star designation. will smith and wesson clean it upo again if i asked them? im not really interested in selling the gun but would love for it to look a little better so i can frame it and hang it on the wall. the gun has quite the history so im told by the person who gave it to me

That old, I doubt it. But you could still call and ask. Unless the finish is pretty bad I would not mess with it.
BTW, S&W stopped using the star designation for factory refinish/rework back in the 50's/early 60's.

Hey all,
I have a S&W .38 Special J-frame bodyguard snubby that was my grandfather's service revolver. I believe it's a model 38. I'm curious the DOB range.

230XXX

Thanks much

BurkGlocker · January 13, 2009, 02:59 AM

I have a S&W Regulation Police chambered in 38S&W but it only has a 3 digit S/N, 7XX. Doesnt have the wood grips, but stag grips in their place. Mostly just wondering its age. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks in advance...

1969. +P is okay. The condition of the nickel (scratches, scuffs, cloudiness)makes a big difference on value but from ~$250 to $400 neighborhood.

Smirf · January 13, 2009, 10:36 PM

Guessing 1970 if anyone can confirm. Mint too.

jal5 · January 13, 2009, 11:32 PM

Could you look up the date on my Model 66-2 ser. no AJTxxxx? thanks

Bluestreak · January 13, 2009, 11:51 PM

Hi all,
I have recently inherited a couple of my fathers guns and would really appreciate knowing the date of manufacture. The first one is a model 25-2 (.45 acp) serial N758xxx and the second is a 19-3 serial K893xxx. Thanks in advance for any help.

S&W model 40 nickel s/n LT121X

Recheck the "LT". Serial numbers for the M40 started at 1 in 1952 to 30160 in 1971 then L1 in 1971 to L9861 in 1974. Get the serial number from the bottom of the grip butt.

1986.

N758XXX = 1980
K893XXX = 1969

i have a 66-2, ALDxxxx, that was made late '85

according to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, your AJTxxxx was made between Jul. & Nov. 1985

I'm not familiar with the S&M cartridge, sounds kinda kinky.

Anyways, your gun was made in September or October of 1942.

Funny. My mistake. Thank you.
