It is a S&W 32 Revolver and the serial number is on the bottom of the grip which is 42603 with a star after the numbers

It's a 32 Double Action 3rd Model made in 1883.
The star signifies it went back to S&W for either a refinish and /or repair some years back.

I was given my grandad's smith & wesson .32 long. I was wondering if anyone could help me determine the age. I'm just curious, because it could potentially be from the '40s as far as I know. The serial number on the bottom is 766xxx. Thanks in advance!

 

[laytonj1]

The serial number on the bottom is 766xxx.

If it has a round butt it's a model 30, a square butt a model 31. Both models had serial numbers running from 712954 in 1961 to 826977 in 1976.

Ive got a tough one

Its a S&W model 15-3 woth serial number D280XXX. 4" bbl with fixed sights..anyone seen this configuration?

 

[laytonj1]

D280XXX.

The serial number and fixed sights make it a model 10 made in 1970.
A model 15 would have a "K" prefix serial number and adjustable sights. If it is stamped as a model 15 it's simply miss-stamped. While not real common there are quite a few miss-stamped models out there.

Smith 7 Wesson Model 18

I just acquired what I believe is a model 18 and I would like to know the approximate age. Behind the yoke it is marked
CNE 1209
18-7 (looks like a stamped number)
046 (another stamped number I think)
Can you tell me the age and what the numbers mean?

Dad has passed his Model 19-3 on to me, I am guessing sometime in 1975?

Can someone date a M640, S/N CEN5755 ?

Thanks, Layton, it's .38. Looks like it's been shot just a few times. Outstanding original finish.

Hi,

Can anyone help with the year of manufacture of my .22 S&W model 17.4 I've
just bought in France serial no. 85K46XX. ( the last two digits I've replaced with XX, I notice other posters don't give away the full number online is there a reason for this?) . Thanks in advance.

Some folks don't like the world knowing the serial number of their guns.
