What would be the date of manufacture of a S&W Model 27 serial no. N4359XX?

Thank you and happy holidays!

Looks like about very early 1978. Any chance of providing a pic?
 
Hey FPrice you seem to have that down pretty pat! Could you be willing to do the same on a Model 56 #N74728X?
 
If you mean a model 57 radom, it would be a 1980 production vintage. The Model 56 is the KTX-38 USAF built on the K-Frame.
 
Thanks Frosty! I'm technologically challenged, unfortunately. No camera and no website to post the pic on if I had it. :o

It's factory fresh, 8 3/8" Nickel, TT TH checkered topstrap and sighting plane with some beautiful dark Goncalo Alves Magna stocks. Don't look like the cyl has been hardly turned. I will break it in, for sure.

I will have to get a camera someday so I can post pix. Thanks again!
 
Boy I sure blew that one. I ment the Model 57 and not 56 (king of typo here). And thank you for the information Frenchy!

There are a few of us on the forum (Frenchy is a good source also) who study S&Ws on a regular basis. It all depends upon who sees the post first and can get to their book fastest.

I generally am not turned on by nickeled guns but it sure sounds like you have a beaut there!

The "Book" makes me smarter than I really am, Frosty. I've only been collecting Smiths for about 9 months now, but with the amount of reference material out there, along with some real experts on the Smith & Wesson forum, I've come a long way with a long way to go. The S&W revolver is one of the most fascinating subjects I've come across in my 55 years. It's a shame I've waited this long to discover it.
 
Frenchy, I've always loved the S&Ws, too. They are mechanical marvels and about as foolproof a piece of machinery as has ever been invented.
