Online S&W serial number lookup?

[lee n. field]

Is there any place online with dateing information for the various models of S&W revolvers? I know I've seen a book with this information, but I couldn't find any place on the Internet with this information. I've got an auction to go to before I can get back to Borders.

Not that I am aware of.

Post here or the Smith and Wesson forums and many of us have "The Book"

The auction flier lists "Smith & Wesson Military & Police Revolver, blah blah blah, SN V147492".
