Old, new guy
Hello,from warm and pleasant south Florida. I need some help cause I’m not finding any info. I am the recipient of a “chiefs special” that belonged to my late father in law. I tried the S&W serial number page and information not available. If anyone can help,the serial number is J379152. My wife and I would like to know about this revolver. Thanks for your time and knowledge.
I also have a model 14-3 that has a serial number beginning with 1K we think it was bought in 71

Can't help with S/N, but welcome to the forum. If you don't get any help, you might contact S&W.

Welcome also!
J379152 was likely produced in 1976, and 1K prefix K frames were made in both 1970 and 1971. Official "birth" or ship dates are available with a letter of authenticity, requests for which are currently on hold.

Feel free to post a question about it in the “Other Brands” subforum. We like S & W here but are not in complete denial about the existence of other brands.
