Your early production "Chiefs Special" uses the smaller "I" frame grip butt so you'll need "I" frame grips for it. Quote:
Serial numbers ran from 1 in 1909 to 59400 in 1920. It was S&W's last Top-Break model to be introduced. It was also unique in that it was the only S&W to have both the topstrap release and side thumb release on the left side and the only Top-Break to have the sideplate on the right side. Quote:

Serial numbers ran from D750001 in 1975 to D870000 in 1976. Interestingly, SCSW fails to note that the "D" prefix was used for the Model 64, indicating that Model 64 first carried a "1D" prefix, which is inconsistent because they also indicate the "1D" prefix wasn't used until 1976, well after the 64 was introduced. The other number (inside of barrel? - not sure exactly where that is) is most likely an assembly number used to keep track of parts in the factory and has no significance. |

Found info on Serial Number
go to http://forums.gunboards.com/showthre...olice-model-10 and you will find a letter from smith and wesson on the serial number from this gun or close enough I should say. I am too excited!

It has us and the customer service baffled. They transfered me to the historian which is supposed to call me back.

A few years ago, I inherited a model 15-3 from my grandfather when he passed away. Out of curiousity, I'd like to know the year that it was made.
It is a model 15-3, the serial number on the frame/butt is 1K164** On the butt, it has a stamped circle with a RE on the left, on the right is has a triangle with a T, a circle with a J, and a stamping that looks like two toothpicks intersecting like a rail-road crossing. |
