Identity and Date of Manufacture of S&W Revolvers

[wrs840]

Do you DOB auto-loaders?

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.

This going to be a thread for those who are looking for a date of manufacture for their S&W revolvers.

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
MOD.60

b) 8.375" barrel
c) square butt
d) six shot
e) adj. sights
f) 34K87XX
g) 14-4

Thanks,

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..

A little help please

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]

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
