22 revolver
I want to thank everyone that has helped find S&W info. I did a search before making my post. I think I have come close but we will try here. This is what I just got from my aunt after my uncle passed. Older 22, barrel stamped 22 Smith & Wesson CTG, ser 228xx, 7 shots, wood grips. If I can get some info on this I would appreciate.
Thanks in advance, kerby |

S&W Model 57+1
[I] have a S&W Model 57+1 41 Magnum, serial number BAR3897, and would like to know its birth history. It is stamped Springfield, Mass. on the right side of the frame, but it is not on the actual BBL as Smith & Wesson suggests it should be. It also is stamped "MARCAS REGISTRADAS" in the same location. It says "MADE IN USA", but I didn't know they spoke Spanish in Springfield, Mass. Is it really a Smith & Wesson, or just a copy?

I forget the whole story on the "MARCAS REGISTRADAS" thing, but it had something to do with S&W reacting to a flood of forgeries from one or more Spanish-speaking countries appearing on the market many years ago. BTW, I live not too far away from the Mothership and visit the factory, range, and retail store in Springfield from time to time. There's probably about as much Spanish spoken in that area as there is English! |

Not a S&W serial number
That's what I thought, the same number is on the butt of the gun. Thanks. I got a little worried when the serial number did not start with an "N" or an "S" though. I couldn't find any series of serial numbers that started with "BAR".

S&W Model 65-5
OK so the serial number under the grips looks like it starts w 8 but the cradle looks like it starts w B and I still cannot locate the manufacture year in the Standard catalogue for a S&W Model 65-5. 3 inch, brushed steel, 6 shot .357 w SN BSL98XX. Anyone know how I can find the manufacture date?
Thanks in advance. |

They don't list all the individual numbers/prefixes. You have to interpolate. BSL falls after BRF in Aug 94 and before CAM in Jan 96. Jim |

Will - I was actually responding to av8r64. I think you've given us enough information to identify your gun as a .38 Safety Hammerless 3rd Model, manufactured from 1890 to 1898, with about 73,500 produced. (Still like to see a photo if you can post one.)
