Smith and Wesson serial number search

SEVENS: thank you for the information. someone at one time did tell me it was the silhouette model. it has the four position front sight. your knowledge on this and your willingness to share is appreciated. KJ
 
You're most welcome, but I'll re-iterate every single time...
The "knowledge" doesn't come from me a whole lot, maybe just a smidge. It's coming from the SCSW by Jim Supica and Richard Nahas, and it's just a fantastic reference. Many, many times I have simply picked it up and opened it to any page and just had fun getting lost in it.
 
Can anybody help? :-)

Ladies and gentlemen,

my father want´s to buy a used Revolver S&W 617 Target Champion Kal. .22lfb and the dealer has no idea about the age. The serial number is: BPS4473. Can anybody here help with the age?

Thanks a lot and many greeting to all Members of this wonderful forum :)
 
The book seems to indicate that BPS4473 would be 1994 production year, although it seems possible that it may have been produced in late 1993.

But 1994 seems likely.
I should expect that it is a 617-1 Model?
The book lists a Smith & Wesson "product code" of 100561 as being laser etched with "Target Champion" on it.
 
Model 57 build date?

Does anyone have any information on the manufacture or build date of a Smith&Wesson Model 57, serial #N775682?

Thank you
Jack
 
I am looking at acquiring another Model 37. Serial number is five digits with a B4 stamped under the number. I am thinking mid fifties but there is something about the gun that just does not look right. Here are a couple of bad pictures but they are what the seller has provided. What do you think? Thanks.

DOB for my new S&W additions?

Hi all:

Just taking breather from a buying spree and thought I'd try to find DOB's for my new pieces.

K-38 K 786xx
Model 17 (no dash)K 3326xx
Model 19-7 CBJ12xx

Thanks for helping out!!
 
K-38 K 786xx -- 1949
Model 17 (no dash)K 3326xx -- 1958
Model 19-7 CBJ12xx -- best I can figure, between Aug '96 and Aug '97
 
DOB for my S&W M. 28-2 6"

Hi all,

I've just bought my first revolver. It would be cool to know when it was produced.

It's a S&W Model 28-2 6" with serial S264245.

Thanks for any help.
 
The book says 1966 is most likely.

I picked up one of these (later than yours, mine is ~1974 vintage) just this summer and I've had an awful lot of fun with it. I've been shooting .357 Magnum for a long time, but my 6-inch 28-2 handles my heaviest loads better (and more pleasantly) than any of my other .357 Magnum revolvers. I had been pining over a .357 chambered Ruger Redhawk for quite some time, but those were made in notoriously short supply. After the first range trip with my 28-2, I quit worrying about ever buying a .357 Redhawk.

I find it to be just a bit of an ugly duck, but it's a workhorse and sure is a lot of fun to shoot.
 
M.28-2

I didn't think it would be that old. Other than some wear around the barrel it seems quite well taken care of over the years.

I've read this other place that it would handle fully loaded .357 ammo well. I look forward to try this out! It's to dark to go out and shoot here in the afternoons during the winter so I will have to wait until the weekend.

Thanks a lot.
 
Hi everybody, I just bought my first k frame and wondered if someone could tell me when it was made. It is a 64-3 with serial number 1D76XXX. Thanks in advance.
 
64-3 with serial number 1D76XXX is showing as 1979 or 1980 in the SCSW.

I'd be happy to have a K-frame of that vintage. :)
Yours should have a pinned barrel.
