Thanks, Sam and Mike. Sam, I guess that means mine "new" one (I REALLY like this one gun a month stuff) was made 'tween '57 and '59, as it is marked Mod 14 inside the crane on the frame. Mike, I am really jealous of your S&W Encyclopedia. I've been to 2 gun shows looking for one since last we spoke of it, and I still can't find one.
