Cant determine what this model is
Hi,
just wanted to see which model number this is and what the ballpark the value can be . I paid 400 dollars for it..and now am wondering if too much? It has the 4 line inscription on right side. also .22 long rifle ctc" on the side of the barrel. serial number on butt plate.. 604** also has the letter K before the numbers..but is about half inch before numbers I was told its a .22 on a .38 frame and a low serial number and was semi valuable.. has about 5 to 10 percent wear. bluing fading where tip of barrel rubs on holster, also on the cylinder leading edge, where meets holster, when putting it away. No safety, tapered barrel where barrel meets the frame and also has the adjustable sites, wood handles with checkering and single raised diamond each side with recessed screw...and was also wondering..Can I shoot .22 magnums in it? or just regular Long Rifle .22 ? Thanks, Robert. |

Older S&Ws are always valuable, but condition is important and based on your description you have a very nice, but not really collectible, revolver with what sounds like the original "diamond Magna" grips. I think you did fine on the price. (And I'd happily buy the gun from you at a tidy profit, as 1948 is my birth year and I've been looking for an S&W revolver from that year for a while.) S&W doesn't really have a ".38 frame" per se. Your gun is built on the K-frame, the medium-size frame that is used for a number of different cartridges, including the .38 Special. The .22 Magnum rimfire is a different cartridge and will not fire, shouldn't even chamber, in your gun. You can shoot any of the cartridges that are similar to the .22 LR, such as the .22 short, .22 CB Long, etc., in the gun, but there's no particular reason to as those are typically more expensive than the ubiquitous .22 LR.

Thanks Flyfish !
It has the 6 inch flat topped ribbed ? barrel and a sloping front site. the K on the bottom of grip area and then a space of about 4 missing numerals and then 604** so what can I for sure tell my uncle, how bad he screwed up letting it go for so cheap? K-22 Masterpiece..maybe 1948 ? |

thanks, that's odd because the model is 686-6 SKU 164224 but the serial # is AJV......the firing pin is not on frame mount (i think)

Putting all that together, I'm guessing that you've got a no dash or -1 in a -6 box. Swing the cylinder out and look at the part of the frame that's exposed. In addition to some other numbers, the model number will be stamped there. If it's stamped 686-6 then I'm really at a loss. S&W has been known to build guns on older frames that they happened to have in stock that were already stamped with an earlier model number, but it seems impossible that could be the case here.

It could be a .38 Special Military & Police, but that serial number would place it in the ca. 1906 time period, which is obviously a long way away from the 1950s. Be sure you have the right number of digits and, if there's a letter(s) in front of the numbers, even if separated from them a bit, that is part of the serial number as well.

It is a 6 chamber and the sights are fixed, not adjustable. There is no letter in front of the numbers on the bottom,780xx. We think the barrel length is 4 inches measured from the end of th e frame. It has a rounded butt and it has 5 screws.
Hopefully that gives u more info. Thanks for your help. Ill try to get some pics. Last edited by rottiatver; July 8, 2012 at 10:13 AM. |

That's all consistent with it being a .38 Military & Police Model of 1905 - 1st Change, manufactured from 1906 to 1909 in the serial number range 73251 to 146899. Please post photos if you can.
