Hi there!
I recently bought a S&W 14-4 as a gift to my father, and was hoping to get more information on it.
I do not have any knowledge on revolvers, and have only shot a few so far.
My old man was telling me a few days ago how he missed shooting a 38’, and that for him pistols were not as much fun.
I had recently ordered two other guns, and during collection day I asked the store if they had any revolvers at a fair price.
After trying to sell me some Korth (had never heard about the brand so far, and clearly not on my definition of a fair price), he showed me the S&W that I ended up buying for 695 with two cases of ammunition included.
The box it came with seems to be from a model 29 based on the papers I found underneath the insert, but even not fitting perfectly, it’s nicer than no box, specially for a gift.
The serial is K71xx that based on what I could find so far would place production at 1948. (Could someone please confirm?)
Any info that can be shared would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
