of course...
1954/55.I have a S&W model-38 blue 5 shot. 53xxx . I pulled the grips off to verify serial # There is no letter pre-fix before the serial number. Thank you
Serial numbers ran from D750001 in 1975 to D870000 in 1976.Well, I already learned something. I've never taken the grips off before and looked under there. It is a model 13-1, serial number D8568XX.
CDR was Nov 99 and CDW was Jan 2000. So, between that.Scored a 686-5 Plus 2.5" barrel, CDT7xxx. I would guess mid 1999, but I'm curious if the book is any more specific.
Thanks!
Prior to 1968, S&W reused the same serial numbers among different models. So, I need more info. Take the serial number from the underside of the guns grip frame and include any letter prefixes such as S, D, K, etc, if any. You may need to remove the grips to see it. Is it a 5 shot or 6 shot? Modern swingout cylinder or older tip down barrel? What is the exact chambering stamped on the side of the barrel, such as, .38 S&W Special. Last but not least, a picture always helps.Recently recovered from a footlocker in an attic:
666xxx
Couldn't determine model on this one, can this be found by the serial number?
I need the serial number. It’s located on the underside of the guns grip frame. You may need to remove the grips to see it. Include any letter prefixes if it has one.How do I locate the date of manufacturing for a Smith&Wesson .38
Both are 1979.4D81897,4D81897
Can’t help much for 1990’s and above semi autos. Mine is UBZ from Jun 01. S&W customer service can likely get you a closer date.Please help with serial number search.
Have M-41 5 1/2" Number UBW47XX
Question - Aprox year of mfg? I'm guessing it's late 90's early 2000's.
Another question - Are S&W Factory Performance Center guns stamped with a special mark or code?
Greatly appreciate any info you could provide!
I should have noticed that..I put the same number twice, the other one is D647483. Thanks for the info
on the last one Laytonj1.
