Hello all,
I recently picked up a Smith and Wesson Model 13-3 revolver and I have a couple questions. I was told that it was a police trade-in. It's got a 4" barrel with fixed sights, a square butt and blue finish. It's chambered in .357 Mag.
1) Can anyone give me an approximate production date? I'm not sure what its serial number is: on the bottom of the grip it says AVF44xx and on the side of the grip, under the stocks, it has a "K" in a circle, followed by 47xx and an "F" in a triangle. Which of these is the serial number? I was told that the serial number was on the grip, but that's the extent of my knowledge...
2) My revolver is in about 80+% condition. I payed $260 for it. Did I get a fair deal?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
