Smith and Wesson serial number search

Just got a 686 no-dash 4". Anyone know the approximate age of the gun? S/N is ACU7XXX. From what I gather it has to be between '80 and '86...but that's a large window.

TIA
 
Mod 28-2 serial number n22383x

The N200000 numbers ran from 1974 to 1977.
The 28 was an slightly more economical version of the model 27. It featured a matte blue vs bright blue finish and lacked the checkering along the length of the top of the gun.

model 67-4 # cdt532x
model 10-5 # d4806XX

cdt532x = late 1999.

It's a model 10 if steel frame or model 12 if aluminum frame.
The model number should be stamped on the frame just in front of the cylinder, only visable with the cylinder opened. See pic.
Serial numbers ran from C810533 in 1966 to C999999 in 1967.

This is a model 629-1.

New old S&W

I just picked up a 66-1 SN# 69K5xxx. I hope it's worth the $375 OTD I paid for it today. Any help on its DOB would be appreciated.

Best Regards

Ok I just purchased a pre-war 1905 .38spc m&p kframe revolver from aging show. I was looking for an older style revolver and was told that the one I bought was a good buy. He pointed out the frame had 5 screws and the newer models reduced the number used. I checked Wikipedia and other sources and only got more confused as it said the pre war 1::905 model apparently was made around 1946 and was the last type to be made without a model number as the name. Switch to model 10 I think. Was after old west revolvers between 1840-1900s. There wasn't much 'wild" west left by the 40s. The serial number on rge butt and cylinder says 503xxx. Any tell me more info? 1st s&w gun a
nd didn't know there was a book. Plus internet says +p works for my gun if it'd not as old as I thought. That true?

Thanks

503xxx

It's a .38 Military & Police model of 1905, 4th change. SN 503XXX dates it to late 1920's.
It became the model 10 when S&W began assigning model numbers in 1957.
While it likely won't hurt it, S&W does not recommend +P ammo in pre model numbered guns.

New to the revolver forum. Someone asked you a question on an older S&W, I have the same question'

S&W 28-2 Highway Patrol 4" barrel SN#N532832

I know there is a book I could buy, but I am not a collector, just ran across this lovely pistol I know I am the second household it has been in, but not its age.

Thank yo for any help you may lend.
