The Model 48-2 signifies that your revolver is the second Engineering Change for the Model 48, and was implemented in 1962 with the most significant revision being the elimination of the fourth screw. Thus, the Model 48-2 was the first of the three screw versions for this model.


the Model 48-2 was apparently in production from 1962 to 1967 when the Dash 3, or Third Engineering Change was introduced, this was the elimination of the Diamond shaped border around the screw escutcheons on the stocks.

All of the preceding found in the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, 4th Edition.

Congratulations on the acquisition, and welcome to the Smith & Wesson Forum!
