I recently inherited a .38 special from my uncle but I don't know very much about it and would really appreciate if someone could tell me the model and year of this gun.
The serial number is K 846xx Thanks so much. |

S&W started stamping model numbers at SN 179000 in 1957. Yours would be a pre model 29 or simply "44 Magnum". Your barrel length is likey 6.5", measured from the face of the cylinder to the end of the muzzle. Quote:
It went on to become the model 14 when S&W began assigning model numbers in 1957. Quote:
SN's ran from 9K10001 to 9K99999 that year. Jim |

I have a S&W Model 60 with serial number: 954Xx.
The capital "X" is actually part of the serial #. Could you give me a DOB on it. Thank you... |

Please date this Smith & Wesson Model 17-3
You people are the most helpful of any firearm site. If you will, please date a Model 17-3 I'm looking into, serial 1K90XXX. I think this falls into my C&R license. Again, my sincere thanks.

Model numbering started in 1957, so only the very oldest model-numbered S&W revolvers are going to meet the 50-year age requirement for C&R.

Jim,
I'm unsure about manufacture dates on these, any help would be appreciated. I can't track them down in my 3rd SCSW.. mentions the serial #s split in the last half of the series. N242XXX (28-2) (1974-1977 ) N537xxx (28-2) (1978-1980 ) Thanks! Last edited by surveyor; September 15, 2011 at 09:13 PM. |

The 1st SCSW is a little more confusing and shows: 1970-72 = N1 - N60000 1972-74 = N60001 - N190000 1975-77 = N190001 - N430000 1978 = N430001 - N550000 1979 = N550001 - N580000 1980 = N580001 - N700000 1980 = N700001 - N790000 1980-81 = N790001 - N820000 1981 = N820001 - N932100 1983 = N932101 - N932xxx Jim |

Jim,
thanks for that info.. Those and the 3 letter codes were the more difficult to pin down. Charles |

S&W 32 revolver
I have a related question. My wife's grandfather owned a S&W 32 revolver. I have the serial number and want to know when it was made and what the correct ammunition is. It is marked "made in Springfield Mass." the number is 681675.
