I guess the version. The standard catalog of Smith&Wesson 3rd edition doesn’t show it. It is a hunter model but if you search it never showed this configuration.I bought the gun new it didn’t come with a box, it was in a performance center soft case. It does have a 7.5” barrel.I have attached a picture of the original grips and soft case. it also came with aluminum and black plastic weights that go in the under lug to change the weight of the gun. It has the aluminum ones in the picture. The front sight was changed from a ramp it came with to a custom made fiber optic. I have never been able to find how many guns were made in this configuration.More information is needed to properly answer your question. Are you talking about your particular model, version , and barrel length? The model number ending with "-6" means yours was the 6th version. There were also variations of that model with those same numbers listed by name too. Is there a name associated with your gun? The names may or may not be printed on the gun. They may be listed on the box though. There is no 7" barrel made as a standard barrel size, unless of course it was a custom made special order. Standard barrel sizes could be 6.5" or 8 3/8". You need to measure from the muzzle to the front of the cylinder for an exact size. I assume you have a 6.5" barrel. Correct? Did you buy the gun new? You show rubber grips on your picture, were they original with the gun from the factory? Were there any other accessories that came with the gun?
Answering these questions should give us enough information to find an answer for you.
Your gun came from the S & W Custom shop. Custom Shop numbers are not counted in the total production. There were 7 million Model 29 to 629 made including ones from WW II. A person wouldn't have to own a 629-6 just to convert it like yours through the Custom Shop.I would like to know how many were made in this configuration?
I didn't know there were .44 magnums made in WWII.7 million Model 29 to 629 made including ones from WW II.
That what I get for cut and paste from the internet. Model 29s and the like didn't come into being until the mid-1950s. There were .44 cal. revolvers produced by S&W until 1941. They were Hand Ejector Models.I didn't know there were .44 magnums made in WWII.
SCSW 4th edition ends on 2015 with CZX so I figure around then. There's no "linear progression" in S&W ser #'s. JoeHowdy - I've got a little S&W 60-14 in 357, just wondering when it was made. It does have a lock, serial number is CZD5380. If anyone can give me an idea on the year I'd appreciate it.

Smith and Wesson .22-32 Airweight Kit Gun made In the mid-1950s before model numbers were assigned.
A collector might call it a "pre-Model 43."
Touch a magnet to it here and there. If I am right, the frame and even the cylinder are aluminum.
Here’s an oldy but goody.
Gorgeous Perfected!!!!I will eventually get around posting his new revolver. It is in superb shape but I appear to have lost several pictures on my tablet.

I was more than happy when I received it. And in this case, I don't think I overpaid. Maybe a little, but it was worth it. Cost was $380. Of course shipping, taxes, transfer shot it up there, but I have to close my eyes to those things when I see something I really want.Gorgeous Perfected!!!!
Almost certainly a Model 10. Should be stamped on the frame under the barrel extension, visible when you open the cylinder. More pics?
Thanks Jim.SCSW says 1973
.38 special
4" inch barrel
