I'm looking for date of manufacture for a 5" pre-model 10 .38. On the frame and crane is E 44528. Under the barrel is c 135304. Thanks in advance!

This one need to be checked a bit and possibly lettered. It might be a late shipment of a Bekeart Kit gun. If it was shipped to Bekeart it would add 10%, it show about 80% and would be somewhere around $500 to 800

1958 and measure the barrel from the front of the cylinder.

some where between 1948 and 51 C1 – C223998
This would be a good one to letter also

Thank you for offering to do this! Here's an M&P snubby I'd really appreciate a DOB on:


a) caliber: .38 Special
b) bbl length (from cylinder to muzzle): 2"
c) grips shape (round or square): square
d) number of shots/cylinder bores: 6
e) type of sights: fixed
f) serial number, and if there is a letter in front of or anywhere near the s/n on the bottom of the grip: C 90645 (the "C" is the letter in front)
g) Model number if it is under the crane: 2 numbers under the crane. On top: 1 (superscript) 3. On bottom: 26557.

A picture or two is worth A LOT of words in this case.

There's a picture in this post, although I don't know how much it'll help.

Excellent, thank you Brian.

See my previous post on this

The sights on mine are not as fine ( narrow) as on a very early 1st model M&P. It does have a C then the serial. The guy I bought it from had it listed as a 1948 M&P. There are no patent dates or anything else. Hammer appears to be a service hammer, barrel is marked .38 S&W Special Ctg.

Views of the Revolver in question.

[Jered]

I inherited this revolver from my grandfather. I have no interest in ever selling it, rather I'd like to know when it was made so I can narrow down where he got it. I know it's a .38 S&W model 33 and manufactured between 1958-1974. What I'd like to be able to do is narrow down what year it was made by the model number if at all possible.

I think the pictures should provide enough information, if any other info is needed please feel free to email or PM me.

Thanks in advance,

Jered

I have a 4" 38 that was my dad's NYPD service pistol. Since he started in the 50's, I am assuming it dates from that time frame. Anything more specific is greatly appreciated.

The serial number on the bottom of the butt is C132XXX
There is a 5 digit number inside the crane, but no model number
There is another serial number on the backstrap, (I'm assuming it is a NYPD serial/issue number)

Thanks again!
