Smith and Wesson serial number search
- Thread starter Driveout02
- Start date
The N2 and N5 prefixes were used mostly for the M 28's and 58's and ran for a longer time period.I'm unsure about manufacture dates on these, any help would be appreciated.
I can't track them down in my 3rd SCSW.. mentions the serial #s split in the last half of the series.
N242XXX (28-2) (1974-1977 )
N537xxx (28-2) (1978-1980 )
The 1st SCSW is a little more confusing and shows:
1970-72 = N1 - N60000
1972-74 = N60001 - N190000
1975-77 = N190001 - N430000
1978 = N430001 - N550000
1979 = N550001 - N580000
1980 = N580001 - N700000
1980 = N700001 - N790000
1980-81 = N790001 - N820000
1981 = N820001 - N932100
1983 = N932101 - N932xxx

S&W 32 revolver
I have a related question. My wife's grandfather owned a S&W 32 revolver. I have the serial number and want to know when it was made and what the correct ammunition is. It is marked "made in Springfield Mass." the number is 681675.

1979.Model 10-8 Heavy barrel 5D95xxx
SN's ran from 4D00001 to 6D10000 that year.
It could be one of three possibles:the number is 681675
A .32 Hand Ejector or Regulation Police, both built on the small "I" frame with
serial numbers running from 536000 in 1946 to 721953 in 1960.
Or, far less likely, a K-32 1st Model. They are very rare and built on the "K" frame.
Either way, they were all chambered for the .32 S&W Long cartridge and will also fire the standard .32 S&W (short).

S&W manu info needed... ok, wanted. (smile)
I was going to buy the book, but I'm unemployed and only have one firearm to look up. Library didn't have it either, so I thought I'd bug you all. Thanks, in advance.
I have a S&W .38 Special CTG model 67-1 with the serial number of 22K3xxx.
Can anyone look that up and tell me what the manufacture date is? I'm pretty sure it's post 1959 so I'm not worried about +P loads, but I'd like to be certain.
Again, thank you!

Smith & Wesson K-22 Masterpiece
By reading the above thread I have, in fact, been made aware of a book I can buy. I, however, do not have time for that as I am trying to buy this from a desperate customer. I would like, if possible, to have this item dated.
Smith & Wesson K-22 Masterpiece Serial# K 879XX
Thank you very much.

686 L-frame serial numbers not in Standard Catalogue ?
I do not find the serial numbers for L frame 686's in the Standard Catalogue of S&W.
The generally expressed opinion I've found is that they are not on-line either.
I'm looking at two 686's.
One serial # begins with CPH, the other with CRA.
Is there any way I can find out the manufacturing time frames these indicate ?
Thank you.

I recently put a Model 65-5LS on layaway at work. Serial # is CAL3xxx. Any help on dating it would be wonderful. Its also my first revolver, and I plan on having it paid off and at the range shooting within a month.
The SCSW only covers up to 2004. Both your SN's are post 2004.One serial # begins with CPH, the other with CRA
You can call S&W's customer service and they will give you the DOB over the phone for free.
The SCSW does not break down the Performance Center SN's. It only mentions the Shory Forty as running thru 1992, 93 and 95. However, as above, you can call S&W's customer service and they will give you the DOB over the phone for free.4006 Shorty Forty, SN PCS11XX
CAM started in Jan 1996 so CAL is likely very late 1995.Serial # is CAL3xxx

.38 spl 10-7
I'm pretty new to revolvers and am trying to do my research on one I'm interested in. As was stated in the title, it's a model 10-7, 2 inch barrel, 6 shot, exposed hammer, square grip. I believe the serial number is 6D64391. There is also a secondary number I've found in a couple places of 47636. Also marked in a couple places is a stamp of L19 (maybe a police marking of some sort?) Thanks so much for any info!
