Serial Number help Please
Hi All,
First post here, I'm a Colt guy that ended up in the wrong neighborhood,,, and acquired a S&W 10-5 4" Blue wood grips in box all papers and wrapper today and have been trying to check serial numbers which isn't an easy task.
the gun is also what I think is referred to as a pinned barrel and is in factory New condition, as in only been fired at factory (not a novice here).
I have seen info on "D" serials but this is a 3D28*** so I'm lost here and could use some help
Also it's a tapered barrel
Crane says 45814 and then below that is F21
and THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP!

Thanks for the dates of manufacture!
Thank you for the information on the dates of manufacture. The .38 spl. built in 1956 looks brand new, my 15 yr old grandson and 17 yr. old granddaughter and i spent yesterday afternoon learning gun safety and shooting targets and sawblades starting with the single shot .22s. Later he put a few dozen wadcutters through his great-grandma's handgun.
My father bought the M29 new, I am the fourth son, he gave it to me before he went to be with his maker. It is nothing but fun to shoot.
Again thank you for the information.

SWSC help
I feel pretty ignorant. Can you help? I have the SWSC latest version. But I don't see where you get the SNs the way you do. In each model # section it gives done data TI help bracket years based on engineering changes etc. Where is the section that gives SN Ranges by model and year? Also can you give them for older models? I have a SW .32 Long Model of 1903 1st change SN 28424. Can you date this? Thx. Mike

1980.
SN's ran from 57K0001 to 91K6800 that year.
1st and 3rd.
SN's ran from 19426 in 1904 to 51126 in 1906.
The serial numbers start on page 395. Only certain (later) models give the serial numbers by year, and even that is only approximate. The older models are only a date range. You would have to pay for a "letter" from S&W to get the ship date and other history by serial number.
If there is no letter prefix with that number, then around mid 1920's.
