I can't find the exact CJU prefix but others around it date to 2005-2006. That doesn't mean it's for sure but maybe. If the gun is part if a special run it will not be listed in my sources. If you write S&W they can tell you the date and if it's part of a special run but no more info without paying for a letter.A) .38 Special +P
B) 3 Inch
C) Round Butt
D) 6 shots
E) Fixed Sights
F) CJU8xxx
G) Mod. 64-8
I am guessing 2012-13?
Thanks. This probably was a special run, since it was a law enforcement gun shipped to Germany and recently returned to the states. (Has German proof markings and importer mark.) My guess of 2012-13 was based upon my CVN 4" 64 being a 2014 gun. Not that it matters, this pistol was carried some and shot seldom, and a little elbow grease and new grips have cleaned it right up. Once again, thanks.I can't find the exact CJU prefix but others around it date to 2005-2006. That doesn't mean it's for sure but maybe.

Sorry I can't nail it down for you.
Please date my gun:
A) .357 Magnum
B) 4" Barrel
C) Square Butt
D) 6 shot
E) Adjustable Sights
F) BHN6227
G) Mod. 66-3
It has a wider hammer than normal, but not as broad as a target hammer, and also has a smooth-faced trigger.
Thanks,
Mac
A lot of the Model 66's came with smooth combat triggers. I have some with grooved and some with smooth. The smooth are .312 and the grooved service triggers are .265. Of course there are the rare ones with the full with Target Trigger. According to the Standard Catalog of S&W 4th Edition Model 66's were either shipped with the .375 Semi Target or .500 Target Hammer.Thank you! I reckoned it to be a little older than that, but I'm glad to know now how old it really is. Do you think that the trigger and hammer might be aftermarket? The action sure is smooth and the trigger breaks cleanly at about 3 pounds, so maybe its had a little work done? I dunno. I do know its a great shooting gun.

I try my best but I'm far from an expert on this topic. I'm not sure which revolver that is. It's obviously military but I'm still not sure. Is there a V in front of the serial number even if it's away from the numbers? Sorry I can't tell you right off.Any results on this one I posted a while back?
I would like to get as much info about it as possible.
Thanks

Thank you! I was busy uploading pics when you replied. Is it normal for a prefix to not show up, or do they give you a range of prefixes?ABH is not showing up but there are prefixes really close. I'd say 1982-1983

I could be wrong, but pretty sure what you have is a .32 hand ejector third model. These were made from 1917-1942. That serial number range was 263001-536684 or about 1000 per year. Doing the match, I would guess yours would be around 1925-26. And that is just a pure guess bases on what info I could find.I’m not sure what model this one is, but:
32 Long
3.5 in barrel
Six shooter
Rounded grips
Fixed sights
SN: R343703
My Great-grandmother had an old Smith 32 similar and I’ve been looking for one which I found today. Will need a little work to make it a shooter since the cylinder lock up has a little more slop than I’m comfortable with.
Thanks!!!!
