Smith and Wesson serial number search

I have a S&W .38 special, Model 14, Serial # K98***

1950. The gun is technically not a Model 14 because model numbering wasn't introduced until 1957, so it's a K-38 Target Masterpiece, or a "Pre-Model 14."
 
M66-4 in excellent condition

$375 + Obamatax! = 405 bucks.

I just put secret service ebony grips to replace those awful rubber ones (had those grips .

A question, serial number starts at BSZ, so is this about 1999? It has the rounded style rear sight (the front of it) firing pin on the hammer, and case hardened hammer and trigger.

And here she is below!

The SCSW only covers up to 2004.
You'll need to call S&W customer service and they'll give you the DOB over the phone for free.

BRF started Aug 1994 with CAM starting in Jan 1996, so you're late 94 to 95.

17-3 with serial number 6K74492

1975.

It may be past the 2004 "cutoff", but I was wondering if anyone had information on something I picked up today:

S&W 642-2 (Lady Smith)
Serial #: CHK9xxx

Any help is appreciated.
 
This is my first post and I'm looking for a little help. My Uncle recently gave me a S&W .38 revolver he said he acquired it in Vietnam and his LT. signed off on him keeping it. Its a model 10-5 serial C905XXX. Just looking to find out some info on it. He was a Marine 0311 and I have figured out that these were typically given to aircrew so he must have picked it up or traded it somewhere.
 
I have two new to me 5 screw 38 specials:

model 10 4 inch # C 203xx
k38 4 inch # K 1556xx

thanks for the date in advance.

Looks like mid 2004.

Serial numbers ran from C810533 in 1966 to C999999 in 1967.
I remember that Model 10's were provided to Air Force pilots so that may be where it originated from.

Model 66-5, serial # CDU3xxx

CDR started Nov 1999 and CDW in Jan 2000, so, in that range.

17-3 K843809
19-4 39K6463

K843809 = 1968
39K6463 = Serial #'s ran from 25K0001 in 1978 to 56K9999 in 1979.

model 10 4 inch # C 203xx
k38 4 inch # K 1556xx

C203xx = Serial #'s ran from C1 in 1948 to C223998 in 1951.
K1556xx = 1952.

I was just given a S&W 38 Special CTG with the serial 873**. Does anyone have any info on it? It was given by my mother-in-law, it was her dad's who was an Air Force pilot. (I read above where it was said some guns were given to them)

Two questions first. Is it a 5 shot or 6? Did you take the serial number from the underside of the frames grip butt and include any letter prefixes, if any?
If it has target grips you may have to remove them to see it.

Model 24-2 serial number

I was wondering about the date for my Model 24-2. S/N is AEL13XX. This particular revolver is a short bbl (2 1/2 inch?) with high gloss bluing and high end factory grips.

Thanks....
