I've was looking at the Ser.# List.
Mine, which I hope to receive tomorrow has a Ser.# TAH299X. I believe the list dates it at around 1986?
I called S&W today & he said the Ser.# is February of 1996. I asked about the Ser. numbering & he stated they are not in consecutive order years, at least for the Model 41. He said they have certain Blocks of Ser.#'s that haven't been unused for over fifteen years.
I believe the Ser.# list is probably 99.9% correct. I just have the Oddball.
My luck seems to border line on No Luck.
I got drafted June 1968 & eight weeks & ten days later I was in Pleiku, Central Highlands, Vietnam. 8" Howitzer & 175MM Gun.
Thanks.
