Smith and Wesson serial number search

Ok, N61575 would be a frame made around 1970

When would a K61575 and L61575 frame be made ?
It would be an "N" frame (large frame) made in 1970 (model 27 or 28).
There are no K frame (medium frame) 357's made with K61575. There is no L prefix serial numbers.
And trying to figure out what gun you had with what is either an assembly number or incomplete serial number is futile at best.

Picked up a 242 today. I know these were only made in 1990, but I was curious if the book had a month listed: CDF2XXX

Thanks!
 
I've got an old one.

Pre-model 10 M&P .38 Spl SN# 378xxx

hello, I have a old smith and Wesson .38 I believe pre model 10. The serial number is 648655. Can anyone help me find when this gun was made. Thank you

Assuming it’s a six shot, it would be a .38 Military & Police made around 1934.
Around 1957, when S&W began using model numbers, they became the model 10.

What kind of Smith is it, and what's the serial number? (use X's for the last three digits.)
Hello Tamara
I recently purchased a 38 S&W with a three inch barrel for $250.00 and am hoping to find out if it is WW2 era. Its in good shape with only a couple of blemishes near the grip. The markings on the barrel reads, "38 S & M special CTG" Serial number 459***. Can you help?
 
On the barrel it is just stamped 38 S & W Special CTG on right side and Smith & Wesson on the left side. It is a three inch barrel with serial number 459XXX
