Assuming you took the serial number from the underside of the frames grip butt (see pic on post # 5888 on previous page), it's a .44 Hand Ejector 2nd Model. Serial numbers ran from 15376 in 1915 to 59xxx in 1940.s&w 44 serial #203xx
Serial numbers ran from 20976 in 1902 to 33803 in 1903.S and W model 1902 38 spl serial number 222xx
And you would be correct... 1991.S&W 5946, SN TVA0xxx I'm thinking it's 90 or 91.
BEC14xx = 1989.
On the 36 and 60 take the serial number from the underside of the grip butt. See pic.
Since they are both steel framed they are safe with +P.
