fatelk: 1975-76. No idea on where to get a liner though.

waidmann · September 17, 2009, 12:04 PM

Thanks for your help. No promises on pics, but I'll try. The barrel is marked .38 S&W CTGS. She appears to be original blue. I'll keep the fifty.

Thanks again.

Does anyone know the approximate age of a Model 29-2 with serial number N744XX? Thank you very much.

Your 65-3 .357 Miltary & Police stainless was manufactured between January 1986 (AHVxxxx) & July 1987 (AVBxxxx). The model 65 was produced from 1972 to 2005. The model 65-3 variant was introduced in 1982 and continued until 1988. The 65-3 deleted the pinned barrel and counterbored cylinders, guns with these features were commonly known as 'pinned and recessed'. The 65-3 was the stainless steel variant of the Model 13 issued to the FBI.

I'm looking for a date on a Model 17 or Pre Model 17,

Radagast · September 20, 2009, 03:38 AM

ronlt55: 1958, Serial range for that year was K317823 to K350547. Should be a model 17 as model numbers were introduced in 1957. The model number will be stamped on the frame under the cylinder yoke.

Radagast, Once again your info is amazing. Do you plan a book with all the S&W info in the future? Thanks again

Radagast · September 20, 2009, 10:35 PM

reload68: I'm just quoting _the_ book. Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson 3rd Edition by Jim Supica & Richard Nahas, published in 2006 by Gun Digest Books.

Another reference book that I don't have yet is America's Right Arm - The Smith & Wesson Military & Police Revolver by John Henwood. A review is here. http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/2...right-arm.html

I'm just a guy with a reference book who enjoys learning about S&Ws. Each time I look up a gun I learn something new.

How have you been Radagast thanks for previous help on S&W586

Radagast · September 25, 2009, 10:32 AM

Snipermtd24: You have a Post war .32 Hand Ejector, after 1957 these became the Model 30. Built on the I frame and later the improved I frame (I frame used a flat main spring, Improved I frame used a coil main spring). Serial range was 536685 to 712953, made between 1946 & 1960. Caliber was .32 S&W long. Barrel length should be 3.25 inches. The Improved I frame was introduced in 1953, if your gun has a screw in the front of the trigger guard and another in the front of the grip frame then it is an I frame. Without those it is an Improved I frame. In very good condition the Standard Catalog of S&W gave a value of $300 in 2006. Value is heavily dependent on condition however.

Radagast · September 25, 2009, 10:36 AM

content: DCTxxxx put's your gun later than the serial ranges recorded in the Standard Catalog of S&W, which cuts off at serial range CTAxxxx in October 2004. The 642-2 was introduced in 2002, the main change being the addition of the internal lock and the address being reduced to 2 lines from 4. I'm sorry I can give you anything better than later than October 2004.

crazyfire · September 25, 2009, 05:51 PM
