Identity and Date of Manufacture of S&W Revolvers - Page 53

wrs840 · October 3, 2009, 06:42 PM

I recently acquired a 4006 s.n. TFM70xx . Standard, Stainless, .40 S&W, adj sights. I sure would like to know the mfg date, if you can help...

Thanks,
Les

10mm+P:
Between August 1994 (BRFxxxx) & January 1996 (CAMxxxx). The number only sequences are assembly numbers, used to track parts in the factory. They are irrelevant once the gun has been assembled.

wrs840:
1990. The 4006 was produced from 1990 to 1999.

We'd need to know :

a) caliber
b) bbl length (from cylinder to muzzle)
c) grips shape (round or square)
d) number of shots/cylinder bores
e) type of sights.
f) serial number, and if there is a letter in front of or anywhere near the s/n on the bottom of the grip
g) Model number if it is under the crane.
That number, if it is the s/n, should come from the butt of the grip (or under the barrel or face of the cylinder).

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

.38 S.&W. SPL.
2 Inch
?
5-shot
Front ramp
R193xxx

Pre-Model 14.
It's a K-38 Target Masterpiece made in 1948.

If it says Model 14 on it anywhere, you gave the wrong serial number, as Model numbers didn't start on them until 1957..

Would like to know DOB and maybe ballpark value?

* 38 spl
* 2 inch barrel
* Round grip
* 6 shot
* fixed sight
* serial # 8D09236
* Model 10-7
* Nickel finish

rcmodel · October 9, 2009, 01:07 PM

943721 = 1940 - 1945 - If it is a lend-lease, it should say United States Property, or U.S. Property on top strap.

Model 13-2 8D138XX = 1981

Model 10-7 8D09236 = 1981
