serial number information
I'm trying to find the age information a S&W 64 2 .38 special Serial number is XX1xx
The first 2 Xs are the first numbers, only five digit and the last three are numbers, Thanks, Tom Last edited by kb3hg; April 24, 2010 at 11:44 AM. Reason: ask later about ammo |

Tom - ya gotta give us something to work with. It's OK to replace the last couple digits with "x"s, but we need the first part of the SN to find a year for you. Also, 64-2s were made from 1977 to 1988, and the SN will either have a letter "D" in there preceded by one or two numerical digits, or will be of the "modern" type that starts with three letters, followed by 4 digits. No 64s were made with 5-digit (only) SNs. Take the SN from the bottom of the grip frame - other numbers that may be stamped in the frame cutout are not necessarily serial numbers

S&W 39-2
I friend of the family is in ill health and may sell of his guns.
He has a S&W 39-2 serial A6372xx. I only examined it quickly but think it is the alloy frame model. I didn't know what he had or that this model was both alloy & steel versions until I got back home. Looking for info & it's year? Thanks, Bill Last edited by b79holmes; May 2, 2010 at 05:46 PM. |

It would be an alloy frame with steel slide. The all steel versions numbered less than a thousand, were 39 no dashes and fell in a narrow serial number range. 39's are excellent and very reliable guns. Jim |

I have found out that the .32 and .38 break tops are pre-1899 but that is all.

S&W 38 special ctg question, please help
Hello. I am new to the forum. Recently inherited a gun from my grandfather who passed. Would like a little info on it if possible.
It is marked MARCAS REGISTRADAS ... it isn't a shiny material, wood butt. Smith and Wesson stamp on the side and all over it. It is a 6 shooter ... cylinder pops out on the side. Serial number is - 986XX - 5 digits. It also has a C to the left. Inside the cylinder where it closes it looks to have a k and a 1299 randomly positioned When do you all think it was made, what might the approximate value be not that I am going to sell it? Please let me know. Thanks in advance. |

So ALW is likely 1986, maybe 87. Jim |

Heirloom 38 S & W 2" Nickel plated revolver
Hi folks,
If I may pick the brains of the Smith & Wesson folks here, I just inherited my first Smith which belonged to my Grandfather. The left side of the 2" barrel is engraved with "Smith & Wesson" and under that has 38 S & W.SPC.CTG On the right side of the frame, below the cylinder is has " Made in U.S.A." The serial number is 608XXX whis is stamped on the butt strap and also on the end of the cylinder. 24929 is stamped in the inside of the crane. It has the S & W engraved trademark on the frame and on the gutta percha grips. I've attached a couple of photos.. Thanks for any help you can render, it is much appreciated. UPDATE: I got a bit impatient and called S & W to see if I could pinpoint a range of years and learned a few things. Any S & W with an "alpha" character in the serial number is post WW II as they becan putting a "V" in the number during that time and kept it going afterward with other alpha characters. The Historian said that my revolver might date from the early 1930's, but that snub nose configurations were rare then ie special order. So the estimate for mine is 1935 plus or minus a few years. I'll probably go ahead and order the "historical letter" to keep with the gun. Last edited by Glenn E. Meyer; November 30, 2013 at 11:47 AM. |

Help me date a model 36
I just got a model 36 with serial number 551721. The factory tells me it is a 1960-61 manufacture. But some of the stuff I am reading here says that can't be. Does anyone know what year of model 36 I have.
