Re: Looking for timeframe
Flyfish,
Thank you very much for that information. Looks like it is late 1930's vintage using your interpolation logic. |

While not an exact science (from the time S&W made/serial numbered the frame and actually assembled and shipped it as a complete gun could vary greatly), SN 642357 was 1934 so yours "likely" would fall in the same period. Jim |

Early K frame .22 ID?
Have a .22LR K frame, no model number on the crane or elsewhere so I am guessing it is a "pre-" model. SN K169XXX, any help on both the model designation and it's relative rarity would be appreciated.

Yes, that serial number would correspond to a production year of 1952, about 5 years before S&W started using model numbers. If it has a 6" barrel with a Patridge front sight, it's a K-22 Masterpiece (pre Model 17); with a 4" barrel and ramped front sight, it's a K-22 Combat Masterpiece (pre Model 18).
Neither model would be considered particularly rare, though both are very popular and command premium prices when in good condition. I don't know what the production numbers might have been, but FWIW I see lots more Model 17s than 18s listed for sale and I've always assumed that they made more of them. |

Can anyone advise on a 27-2, serial N214972? I believe it to be 1964-1965, but haven't confirmed that.
It's a shooter grade with a nice set of magnas that aren't matched to the gun, and it has been refinished in hard chrome. Some evidence of old pitting under the grips, but it's been nicely covered by the new finish. |

Thanks FlyFish
Noticed a "K" in the frame where the ejector rod sits - thought it might be a K frame - glad you cleared it up. Paid $325 out the door of LGS, thought it was fair as it is in nice condition - in my opinion. I love the little thing! Grips have a diamond pattern and are in good shape. If I want to put newer wood grips on to shoot with.. are they available? Keeping the originals safe when out in the woods. Dal |

S&W model 1917
Anybody know the approximate DOB of my new (to me) Smith and Wesson model 1917 serial number 104xxx? I'm planning on getting a letter of authenticity from Smith once I can afford the $50, but in the meantime would like an approximate date if available.
Thanks in advance |

Serial numbers after that were for various commercial/civilian versions made up to ~1950. Jim Last edited by laytonj1; December 26, 2010 at 11:01 AM. |
