Serial numbers ran from 108087 in 1965 to 135464 in 1969. So, I would say 1965/66.Smith Model 51 .22 Mag, SN 112xxx. Any idea of the year of mfg?

I recently purchased a S&W Model 39-2 Serial # A 147XXX does anyone know where I can find out about the pistol?
It's a Z and would date it to 1996.serial # CAZ0513.
I guess the Z in the serial # could be a 2
That's the date I was hoping it was.It's a Z and would date it to 1996.

Unfortunately, my copy of the Standard Catalog of S&W is the 3rd addition which only covers up to 2004. There is a 4th addition out now that includes the later years. You could ask over on the S&W forum (smith-wessonforum.com) or you could call S&W customer service. They will give you the DOB over the phone for free.I just traded for a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard serial # KBK9XXX.
Can anyone tell me when it was made?
K190xxx would be 1953.I just picked-up a "new" to me K38 and am anxious to know how old it is. The serial number is K 190xxx. It so happens to be a "five-screw model"...with those screws in the front of the trigger guard and at the top of the side plate. There is no "mod 14" inside the crane so it is older than my other K38 with four screws.
Can someone give me a date of manufacture?
