Smith and Wesson serial number search

I recently wrangled my dad's 28-2. Based on it being a -2 and what's he told me about it, I would say around 1970. Serial is N581xx. Any more info would be greatly appreciated!

The serial number posted shows to have been shipped sometime in 1978-1980. The SCSW is not any closer than that. It does state that most of the 500000 range of serial numbers were model 28s and model 58s.

N500000=1978-1980
N600000=1979-1980
Hope this is of some help. JA

Sorry Mojave I misread the serial number that you posted. Laytonj1 is correct on the ship date. JA

The model 27-3 was made from 1982 through 1988. The SCSW does not show an AVC serial prefix. But shows an AVB as being July 1987. So guessing yours should be Late '87 or early '88. JA

Mavracer, That is not quite enough info. What is the full number (including letters) on the butt of the gun? You can put Xs in for the last two digits if you are uncomfortable putting the full serial number on the forum. JA

The 10-7 looks like a 1977 gun. I could not find the 3D prefix listed. But the 10-7 was a 1977 introduction. The 10-8 was also introduced in 1977. Just guessing as the SCSW book is not real clear. JA
 
Hello,
I'm trying to learn more about the following S/N: RSR70xx
The model and SKU, year of manufacture, the dash-version, and any other pertinent info.
Thx,
B

We need more information to identify your gun. We need the caliber and finish (blue or stainless). Then open the cylinder and you will see the model number and dash number is stamped on the frame.
With this info we should be able to give you a ship date and maybe other info. JA
