Smith and Wesson serial number search

It depends. It has to have been made before 1898 to be an antique. The Model 3 was made between 1870 - 1915. Would need more info & someone that knows more than I do for a positive answer.
 
It may but again,the Model 3 is one I'm not familiar with enough to give an answer sorry. Hoping someone with more knowledge will chime in.

Model 41 70-71
Model 27-2 AJJ prefix shows 1985
Model 52-1 mid to late 60's S&W could probably give you a better date,
Model 952-2 DAB prefix shows 2006

All are approximate & could be narrowed down by S&W.

The 952-2 model began in 2004, but I didn't find a "DAB" prefix in my book.

As a follow-up to my post above from December 12th, and your responses, I just realized that I have this letter that my dad received from S&W just before purchasing his Model 52, which would indicate that the gun is likely a very late '70, or early '71:

Here is Yet Another 38 Special US Service CTG's Piece

Greetings, looks like I am one of many who has an old gun of a grandfather's. And it's also nice to carry on a nearly 18yo thread, lol. I have a few pics and will try to post what is pertinent.
1) 38 S&W Special U.S. Service CTG's.
2) Serial #10920X
3) It does have the screw in front of the trigger card
4) Latest patent date on top of the barrel is Feb 6, '06
5) Under the barrel, covered by the ejector rod when the cylinder is closed, there is also stamped a "B" a few spaces before the serial number that isn't in the other places where the serial number exists.
6) Also, on a place covered (when cylinder closed) by the part of the frame descending to the cylinder hinge, are the numbers 36487
7) There is some pitting inside the barrel so I wouldn't shoot it.

Any information, particularly as to type and year of manufacture would be awesome.

Okay, I am struggling to upload the pics. It has a rounded butt, grip of black plastic.
