From ~ $450 well used to $800+ NIB for the pre model marked (pre 1958) K22's.Any idea what the value of these are? Not that I'm thinking of selling I'm just curious. I have used this pistol since about 1977 when I was 10 and it has the best balance and feel of any handgun I have held.
Assuming there is no "K" prefix with that serial number from the bottom of the frames grip butt, it would be a .32 Hand Ejector Model of 1903, 2nd Change. Serial numbers ran from 51127 in 1906 to 95500 in 1909.I've only got a couple Smiths (two new ones) but I have my grandfathers .32 S&W long SN 512XX. I've always been curious as to when it was made. Any help would be appreciated.
SN: R1364xx
Also; any chance of running + P's thru this for carry only?
Take the serial number from the bottom of the frames grip butt. Include any letter prefixs. I also need to know the caliber.Can anyone help me date my dad's S&W? It has a five inch barrel, double action, four digit serial number located on the metal front of the grip. Serial number is 57XX. He bought it from an old man 30 years ago. Any help appreciated.
Assuming a it's a modern swing out cylinder design, serial number 57XX would make it a .38 Military & Police 1st Model. Serial numbers ran from 1 in 1899 to 20975 in 1902. Calibers were .38 S&W Special or .38 Long Colt (Army and Navy models).It is a .38 caliber, but that is the only number we can find anywhere. There are no letters. It does have 'Smith & Wesson' and then several patent dates engraved into the barrel and a seal on the side that says 'trademark'.
S1569XX = 1956/57. You have what went on to become a model 27.Any help on a 357 Magnum, S1569xx? There is NO model number on the box or revolver....it's just listed as "357 Magnum".
