S&W pre-27 .357 w/ diamond target grips
I picked up a nice pre-27 S&W with a S 96xxx Serial no. this past weekend. The gun had a set of the diamond target "coke" grips on it that were not numbered but had obviously been on the gun for a long time.
Can you help me with date of manufacture- I'm guesssing '54 or '55 - and if the target grips could possibly be orginal to the gun or did they have to be a later addition?
THANKS!

1953. Target grips usually were not numbered. However, 1953 is too early for "cokes". They started around 1956 with the 44 Magnum.I picked up a nice pre-27 S&W with a S 96xxx Serial no. this past weekend.

Correct grips in 1953 would be diamond magnas or Non relieved diamond targets, but I wouldn't complain about having "cokes".

Laytonj1. Sorry about not getting back to ya to soon, been busy. Yes my weapon jams at the hammer. When i'm fireing i can shoot for a little while then it just jams. I'm asumeing that the powder is withholding the revolver from rotating to the next shell. Even when i pull the hammer back it will not react. Jammed!!! Like i said i know there is a pin in there that helps with the turning of the revolver or should i say it's suppose to stop it but it's also suppose to release when your ready for the next round. I can open the cylinder and manually complete the cycle but should not have to do that. Any suggestions? Once again the weapon in ? is the S&W 44mag, Dirty Harry. 1975 made..thanks again.
M19-6 Date of Manufacture
I have just joined The FiringLine after finding it when looking for information about date of manufacture of my M19.
The serial # is: BHT03xx
Can't find much information about its value. Can someone help? It's in very good condition with a small amount of wear at the muzzle and some use marks. Bluing is 90%.

Need help with ID & DOB
My neighbor asked me to look at her late husbands revolver today and I have no knowledge of S&W's. I could not find a model # on it, but it looks like a M36 or M60. It is a nickel plated snub nose 5 shot with hammer, round butt and non-adjustable sights (the rear sight is just a groove). The SN is R122XXX.
Thanks in advance.

1969 would be correct.I have a Mod 36 no dash SN J146XX. I think it is about 1969 but not sure
Gonna need more info. Did you get the serial number from the bottom of the frames grip butt? Is there a letter prefix? Is it a swing out cylinder?A couple of years ago my dad sent me a S&W revolver .22 rimfire he found in a pawnshop in Arizona. It is mint with very elaborate engraving on it. I'm trying to determine the model and the approximate year of manufacture. Serial is 1619xx.
~1991. About $350. And another $50 or so if it's a 2.5" barrel.I have just joined The FiringLine after finding it when looking for information about date of manufacture of my M19.

R122XXX = 1974/75. The "R" prefix makes it a model 60 which is stainless steel.My neighbor asked me to look at her late husbands revolver today and I have no knowledge of S&W's.

two Smith and Wesson 41's:
1) A6538xx
2) A7158xx
A6538xx = 1980
A7158xx = 1981

Honestly, there are many things that could cause that. While I suspect ammo or crud where it shouldn't be, I would highly suggest the next time it does it leave it alone and let someone more knowledgeable about guns look at it or take it to a gunshop and let them check it out.Yes my weapon jams at the hammer. When i'm fireing i can shoot for a little while then it just jams. I'm asumeing that the powder is withholding the revolver from rotating to the next shell.

I've got a S&W mod 36 that I purchased from a sheriff's deputy in Nebraska in the late eighties or early nineties. The finish on it is still about 95%. I'm entering all of my firearms into a "Gunsafe" database and would like to know for records purposes when it was made.
The serial number is 604Jxx. Any idea when that was made?
