S&W Model 37 Airweight
SN: AYA1**
That sucks. Try contacting S&W. They may give a discounted price on a new one. Anyway AYAxxxx dates to 1987.the frame cracked under the barrel
Would date to about 1918 give or take a year. Can't help you with the engraving.I'm pretty certain this is the S&W M&P (Model of 1905 - 4th Change) based on the SN - 271xxx.
I have an old pre 1948 K-22 and would like to get a closer idea of the actual date that this revolver came to be.
Can anyone help me with this?
serial# 10804
