Smith and Wesson serial number search

laytonj1...I'm totally confused now because my grandmother died in 1979 and she had it for a few years before she died. It used to drive her brother (my great uncle) nuts because he had 50 some odd guns and couldnt shoot as perfectly as she could with that one guns....she was a perfect shot. All of that set aside....how can it be that it was made in 1982 if she had it for atleast 5 years before that?
.38 special number 3224##

Off the grip butt and the number was on the cylinder/chamber which holds six.
No letters just that number.

JNM51xx is well past the 2004 cutoff on the book. You'd have to call S&W customer service to get the DOB on it. Free over the phone for just the DOB.
CHB72xx = 2003.
BHY79xx = 1992.
C1533xx = .38 Military & Police (pre model 10). Serial numbers ran from C1 in 1948 to C223998 in 1951.

I have an old service revolver that was left to me its a S&W model 10 5 with serial # D92xxx which i thought was odd.arent the SN's supposed to be 6 digits ? Its in decent condition and now lives in my gun case on display. any help with its history is appreciated. it was left to by a family friend who used to be a G&F officer. Thx in advance.

I've been reading the forum for awhile but decide to register to see if anyone could tell me the year my S&W was made. I keep it because it's easy to shoot. Only wheel I have..at the moment. I'm starting to like wheels alot more that clips now.
38 S&W. Special CTG on the barrel
bottom of handle 4D92XXX
cylinder or by 12621 MCD-10-7
Thanks for the help

Thank you thats that I found. Just wanted a second or "right" opinion. Guess it's not worth much but it's an accurate shooter. I like mag guns but this thing is ps reliable I'm looking at a 357 or 4 now. Just they co$t so much more. My buget is lock, Sprigfield ,Rugar range. The wheels cost more.
649-7
Hi Jim.
Another one for DOB, this time an stainless Bodyguard 649-7
S/N CBB5xxx.
It says 38 spl in the barrel. Being a recent model I thought it would say 38+P.
I guess it handles a steady diet of 38+P without any problem. Am I right?
Thanks for your kind help.
