Picked up a S&W model 57 yesterday. There's no "dash" number and the serial # is N390XXX. I wonder if someone might be able to date the revolver for me?
It's got a 4" barrel and "gold" lettering. Did the factory do this gold lettering? It's also got a pinned barrel and recessed cylinders.
One more question if I may. Is the durability on these M57/58's better than the Model 29?
Any thoughts on the S&W model 57 will be most appreciated. Best regards, John
