.38 S&W

I have a 4 screw side plate with 1 screw above the trigger guard in front .38
the serial # s 965796 contacted S&W they said I had 1 to many digits in my serial# and if I dropped the last one I had a 1951 MFG. .38 BUT 965796 is also stamped into the back of the right side grip. This a 6 shot square butt blue snubbie, was my father in-law's service pistol he has passed on and any info would be APPRECIATED.
THANKS

.38 S&W Special CTG age?

I have a S&W .38 Special that I'm trying to find out an age or any other info on. I was told it was my great great grandfather's when he was a police officer . Not familiar at all with guns, so bear with me! I believe the S/N is on the butt of the gun? It says: 266xxx. Any info at all is appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

 

[1 old 0311-1]

266XXX? Man you DO have an oldie. That was made about 1919.

Hello all. Any idea of the year of my 329pd with serial# beginning CHM4xxx.

Thank you very much!

Another 329pd

Thank you very much! Now my buddy wants to know the date of his 329pd if you dont mind:

DBX9xxx

 

[laytonj1]

DBX9xxx

That's recent production. Book only goes to 2004. You'll have to call S&W customer service to get the DOB.

Sorry I won't be answering any more of these requests. It appears my "INSULTING BEHAVIOR" ruffled the feathers of someone in the "COOL KIDS LUNCH CLUB"

1 old 0311-1,

I've seen nothing but you being helpful. It's been pretty nice having someone else to answer S&W questions.
Please reconsider.

Gun new to me...

I just received a relative's S&W 38 revolver. It's serial number on the butt is
V12***, and it is only 5 digits. From what I have found on this forum, this may be from the 40's. It is nickel with ivory colored plastic grips. Can anyone confirm the approximate date for me?

S & w model 23 ser. no. S818XX

I need to sell this gun and don't know if it is a pre or post model. I know the pre is more valuable. It belonged to my late husband and is in good condition.
I know it is a 38/44 Outdoorsman. PLEASE HELP.I have been trying for a week to find out with no luck. I do have pictures.

The standard Catalog of S&W lists your serial number S818xx as being as in made 1951 or 1952. The Pre model 23's were made 1950 to 1966 serial number range S57000 to S261999.
