Smith and Wesson serial number search

Early model 29????

Hello all, seeing as there are so many experts here, I would appreciate some help ID'ing the approx year and model variant of my 29. Serial # is 160089, 6" barrel, wood grips with emblem. Thanks!
 
I recently inherited a .38 special from my uncle but I don't know very much about it and would really appreciate if someone could tell me the model and year of this gun.

The serial number is K 846xx

Thanks so much.

Yours would be a pre model 29 or simply "44 Magnum".

I have a S&W Model 60 with serial number: 954Xx.
The capital "X" is actually part of the serial #.

Could you give me a DOB on it.
Thank you...
 
Please date this Smith & Wesson Model 17-3

You people are the most helpful of any firearm site. If you will, please date a Model 17-3 I'm looking into, serial 1K90XXX. I think this falls into my C&R license. Again, my sincere thanks.
 
Model numbering started in 1957, so only the very oldest model-numbered S&W revolvers are going to meet the 50-year age requirement for C&R.
