How do you know it is a 170164 without the original box ?
Thanks

Hi Grinder,
I phoned first to Bignami SpA who is the only official S&W distributor in Italy, I told the frame serial number and Bignami confirmed the gun was sold in 2001 and it was with reference number 170164.
I phoned then to S&W Customer Care service and spoke to Bob. I gave him again the frame serial number and he confirmed it is a S&W model 4006 black, ref. 170164 which came out of factory on 05/24/2001, exported to Italy in 2001 and was a special limited edition under 200 pieces for Camfour Distributor ... all the things I had wrote in my first post.
Thanks again all for your suggestions and tips.
