Smith and Wesson serial number search

CTG Serial number is 458xxx
Click to expand...
CTG stands for cartridge.
SN's ran from 260000 in 1917 to 536000 in 1942. Best guess would be early/mid 1930's.
Value can range from $300 to $700 plus depending on condition.

I got a couple that my dad gave me years ago. Shoot them quite often.

First is a Model 17-2 (22lr) K554XXX

2sd one is 38 SPL #108XX (has special CTG) on side of barrel, and is Stainless.

Many thanks in advance.

K554xxx = late 1963 or early 1964.
108xx = that SN is too early for a stainless gun, nickel maybe?
See pic for location of serial number. Also, is it a 5 or 6 shot?

Many thanks for the response.
You are right it is nickel and is a 6 shot.
Inside when I swing the cylinder out is the number 186XX.
On the butt is the number I posted 108XX.

Well, that number would date it to the original 1st model Military & Police.
SN's ran from 1 in 1899 to 22975 in 1902.
Would love to see a picture of it.

Will try and get it posted over the weekend, this one is definately not one that has been kept in the closet. It is a little rough.
Why would there be two different numbers on it?

Again thanks for the info.
 
Model 66, 2.5" barrel, recessed chambers but barrel not pinned.

Serial #1H99K07xx

I am interested in date of manufacture and value in 98% condition.
 
S&W 22 long rifle CTG 4 digit serial?

Another newby here--I recently inherited a Smith and Wesson 22 Long Rifle CTG revolver. From most of the websites it looks like most have 6 digit serial numbers. Mine has a K231X stamped on the bottom of the grip and on the face of the cylinder. It also has S 17 stamped on the flat of the frame where the cylinder closes. Any idea of the background and how old the gun is?
Thanks!

K-22 Masterpiece (postwar 3rd model).
Serial number dates it to 1947.

Starting in the early 1980's all S&W models went to the same serial number sequence so the only thing I can tell you from the serial number is that it was made in 1987.

Hi Jim! Here I am again, now with a Model 30. 2 inch, Improved I frame, blued, S/N 68540X. I hear these are a bit difficult to pinpoint?

Thanks again for your help!

Model 19-3 Lookup

Hey I recently traded for a nickel plated S & W .357 Model 19-3 the serial number is 2K14***. I was wondering what year this gun was produced.

The grips are worn which is understandable because it was supposedly the duty gun of a buddy's dad or granddad. Where could I find replacement or have them reconditioned?
