Just got the 3rd edition SCSW
I just received my copy of the "Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson" 3rd Edition. This old wheelgunner would not have expected that the first ID would be of a S&W auto.
1973-1974 A175001 - A235000
Maybe this will help to start paying back for all the great information and camaraderie that THR has provided over the last 52 months.

I'm jealous with envy~! 
(No only kidding, of course~!)
The S&W model 39 and 39-2 was mighty fine firearms, and the predecessor
of all the "wunder nine's" of the 70's-80's-and 90's. I have owned many, but
only one factory nickel 39-2 with S/N A222567. That gun was a beautiful
example of S&W quality at the time under Carl Hellstroms direction. I never
even fired this weapon; but likewise, didn't have enough gumption to keep
it either. Sure~! I made a little money on my next move involving this fine
firearm; but today, the money and the beautiful model 39-2 are both gone.
I have wished I had it back on many occassions~! 
Enjoy~!

Hey PRR My Friend-
There is definitely something wrong with that S&W model 39-2~! (Look Out)
Laughing Loudly, it needs to be in my collection.
Very good find, indeed. I know that you will enjoy this great handgun
for many years too come. Stay safe, and shoot straight~!
HAVING FUN IN OLD DIXIE'LAND~!
