56K prefix dates it to 1979.Looking at 19-4 4” 19 appears to be 90% condition but no box or anything else. I have seen old threads of value but seem to be going up. They are asking $899. What do you think of price and the serial # is 56k1xx. What year would this make it? Thanks for any help
1960.S&W model 12 no dash. Serial number C437XXX
I'm assuming there is an "S" prefix with that serial number. S150xxx would be 1956. If it is chambered in 357 magnum it could be a pre 27 (Model 357 Magnum) or a pre 28 (Highway Patrolman). If it is a Highway Patrolman it would be rollmarked as such on the barrel.Number on bottom of grip frame and on cylinder is 150XXX
Yes. S&W did not plate those parts.Trigger, hammer and sights are nickel along with the gun. Does that mean it has been replated?
1951.I was wondering if you could help me with a k22 22lr numbers (k. 129***)
S&W switched to numbered models in 1957, so that gun is older than that.A friend who knows nothing about guns gave me a S&W K-Frame .38 Spl to check out for him. When I got it home, I saw that it was a pre-M-10 with a 4 inch barrel and retaining 90%+ bluing. The s/n is 924935.
Can you tell me when this revolver was made?
Thanks.
924935 would be 1941/42. If there is a “S” prefix (S924935)it would be 1948.A friend who knows nothing about guns gave me a S&W K-Frame .38 Spl to check out for him. When I got it home, I saw that it was a pre-M-10 with a 4 inch barrel and retaining 90%+ bluing. The s/n is 924935.

K170030 would be a K frame revolver made in 1951. K250536 would be the same and made in 1955. They were offered in three calibers, 22lr, 32 long or 38 special. The model would be K- caliber (K-22, K-32 or K-38)I'm assisting a friend who's father passed and left his collection. In the collection are 4 Smith & Wessons that don't have a model number stamped on the frame inside the cylinder crane. Hopefully someone here can help us identify. Serials are
171195
K170030
S180658
K250536
Thank you very much!
Thank you for the reply laytonj1.K170030 would be a K frame revolver made in 1951. K250536 would be the same and made in 1955. They were offered in three calibers, 22lr, 32 long or 38 special. The model would be K- caliber (K-22, K-32 or K-38)
S180658 would be an N frame revolver made in 1958. It was offered in several calibers. I would need to know the caliber to give you a model name. What is the chambering stamped on the side of the barrel?
171195 was used on numerous models over as many years. I would need more info on the gun. Is it a modern swing out cylinder like the others? 5 or 6 shot? What is the chambering stamped on the side of the barrel and about how long is the barrel?

So they apparently left the “S” prefix off the 171195. S171195 dates it to 1957. As with the other 44, they were officially known as a model NT-430 but became the model 29 when S&W began stamping model numbers around serial number S184000.Thank you for the reply laytonj1.
171195 is a .44 Mag, blue, 6" barrel, swing out cylinder, 6 shot
S180658 is another .44 Mag, 6" barrel, swing out cylinder, 6 shot
K170030 is a .22LR, 4 " barrel that has a matching gold box
K250536 all I have at this point is that it is .22LR
Thanks again for your help.

The other two are model K-22’s which became model 17’s (6” barrel) and model 18 (4”barrel) when model number stamping began.
Depending on condition, those NT-430 44’s are worth some good money.

Serial number 295000 was in 1962 and 786000 was in 1969. So, 1966 or 67.Model 36 no dash 601xxx Thank you Charlie
