Model 31 is what the Regulation Police became known as when S&W began stamping models numbers around 1957. If yours has model 31 stamped on it then it would date between 1957 and 1960. If not, then between 1946 and 1957.
Value ranges from around $300 in Good to $500 in Excellent.
The 32 Hand Ejector series shared the same serial number run so only S&W knows how many were actually made.

Later model revolvers also had the SN stamped in the yoke area but on earlier guns it was assembly numbers.

re:S&W Model 10 ??

I have a friend that likes to give me small tasks. Recently, he has aquired what seems to be a S&W model 10. I don't know much about Smiths, however he wanted me to find out the production date. Problem is, there are three different numbers on this particular piece. One on the yoke and two on the grip plate. There are no letters whatsoever. Can someone please help.
 
One on the yoke and two on the grip plate

If it;s not to much trouble I'd really like to know about what year my Mod 36 is. It's a 2" pinned barrel with flat release square butt with diamond grips. Serial # 185xxx. Thanks

I'm new to revolvers and not familiar with how S&W does their serial numbers.
I purchased a very nice Model 19-4, blue, 4 inch yesterday at a gun show and am curious about its history.
The serial number on the yoke is 52K1678, but when I remove the grips, I see this number again on the very bottom of the butt, and
on the frame, under the grip I see 04550.
What is the purpose of the second number and does one of the numbers denote date of manufacture?
Thanks
 
It is a Airweight 38 SPL CTG
The serial is 115309

I have no idea how long your father had it but the gun was made in 1956.

1979.
S&W has used many locations for the SN but the underside of the grip butt is the one constant (with one minor exception). The other number(s) are assembly and inspectors.
