I am kind of surprised I can't find a list of Smith & Wesson serial numbers online. I have a Model 27-2, and I have no idea when it was made. Is there a list out there that I don't know about?
Post your gun here as we have a section for S&W and Colt. Include the serial number.
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...
Thanks for the link. It looks like I fall into the general area of 1976. A dark period in America's history. Gerald Ford defeated Reagan. Jimmy Carter defeated Ford. Inflation headed for 18%. Disco. Polyester. John Denver.
Thank God something good happened during those evil times.
In those days we were impressed by 5 screw guns, 4 ok.
The 3 screw guns were current production, no better thought of than MIM and locks are now. But they all shoot.
