Yeah, the -2's were made from 1961 to 1967.I had no idea that the 17-2 was that old!
I don't know what they are at now but last I saw it was -8's in early 2000's.

The Model 64 is essentially the stainless version of the venerable Model 10. It was introduced in 1970 with a tapered barrel. According to SCSW, the "-1" was a heavy barrel version introduced in 1972, with some being chambered in .357 Magnum for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol - a configuration that later became the Model 65. The 64-1 was made until 1977 when it was replaced by the 64-3 (the 64-2 was the tapered barrel version).
Serial numbers ran from D750001 in 1975 to D870000 in 1976. Interestingly, SCSW fails to note that the "D" prefix was used for the Model 64, indicating that Model 64 first carried a "1D" prefix, which is inconsistent because they also indicate the "1D" prefix wasn't used until 1976, well after the 64 was introduced. The other number (inside of barrel? - not sure exactly where that is) is most likely an assembly number used to keep track of parts in the factory and has no significance.

" . . . a letter from smith and wesson on the serial number from this gun or close enough I should say."
Huh? The two-year date range I gave you is much narrower than the 14-year range for all "D" prefix revolvers cited in the S&W factory letter.

It has us and the customer service baffled. They transfered me to the historian which is supposed to call me back.
A few years ago, I inherited a model 15-3 from my grandfather when he passed away. Out of curiousity, I'd like to know the year that it was made.
It is a model 15-3, the serial number on the frame/butt is 1K164**
On the butt, it has a stamped circle with a RE on the left, on the right is has a triangle with a T, a circle with a J, and a stamping that looks like two toothpicks intersecting like a rail-road crossing.

Production date would be 1970 - the range used that year was 1K1 to 1K39500 (along with K and 2K prefixes). No idea on the stampings - sounds like something that must have been added after it left the factory. S&W has done many custom stampings of various models for a number of law enforcement agencies, but the ones that I'm aware of are always the name of the agency or its initials, not symbols.

Based on the description and serial number, you have a .32 Hand Ejector Model of 1903 - 5th Change. The manufacturing dates were from 1910 to 1917, with a corresponding serial number range of 102501 to 263000. The finish would be nickel, not chrome.
Looking for timeframe
