Smith and Wesson serial number search

New to me S&W Model 10

I'm trying to find aprox. production date. Serial # BFF54xx is on the butt. On the side of grip there was also a # 366383 I think. It was hard to see with Houge grip screw bracket. I used to carry one like this at work in the 70's. the butt even made a good hammer when needed. I now have much more respect for this fine made, accurate pistol.it came with the new grips, which makes it look & feel great in the hand. I'll be touching up the bluing and keep ( this not considered pretty workhorse) in my collection.
Thanks for any help on production date.
 
Thank jim

I thought it might have been older with some of the rust & pitting in places. I'll be taking care of that though in its new permanent home.
 
I have The Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson 3rd Edition for Kindle on my puter. Will someone please tell me where I can find the mfr date in this edition?
 
I have an old S&W .22 on hold at a LGS. I'm not sure which model it is but the serial number begins 674XXX. In addition to the date can you tell which model it might be? I haven't been able to find pictures to help me determine.
 
Just called smith. Mine was made in 1998 and the guy told me no plus p.

I just got an email response from smith saying anyone after 1996 is gtg with +p. They said the rep i talked to must of been new.

Ok, I'm going blind trying to find my info in this thread. Sooooooo long. I have an early S&W I'm trying to ID. It's a 4 screw, nickel, .38 S&W CTG, 5 shot, round but, fixed sight 5 digit SN (468xx). Yolk is only marked with a 4503 (not model number). Left side of barrel is marked "Smith & Wesson, .38 S.&W. CTG. Right side of frame has trade mark with Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. and where most seem to have the full address for location it only says "MADE IN U.S.A." It looks to me like an early Terrier but all the pics I can find have the markings different.

Yeah, that what the book shows too.
While a +P load will not blow it up, because of the aluminum frame, +P will wear it out faster.

Serial Number search and question: Model 27-2

I have 8.375" Model 27-2 serial number N477xxx -- date of manufacture? Also it has gold lettering on metal surfaces and gold medallions on wood grips -- is this unusual? Good gun? Thanks to you experts!
 
My new 629-1

I bought a 629-1, .44mag from a friend of mine. I have 2 questions please. Manufacture date, and what kind of frame is it? I love wheel guns, but I don't profess to be ultra knowledgeable. SN AYL39xx. Thanks!
 
Hi everyone - - - my S&W catalog is in another location . . . so I'd appreciate it if anyone would be kind enough to please provide me with the build year for a 64-6 that has a serial number of CEE38xx Thanks.
