Hello, new member here, this is my first post. Hope I do it correctly and don't ask for anything too difficult. I have two old top-break S&W revolvers I am hoping to get some information on, mainly dates of shipment, and perhaps exact model numbers. Sorry I do not have photos.
The first is a visible hammer (SA/DA) top-break auto eject. the serial number on the grip frame is 146 775. It is in 38 S&W caliber. The barrel is 3 1/4" long, with fixed sights. It has a strain screw in the usual location on the front of the grip frame. I suspect this is a 3rd model but I'm not sure? I would mainly like to learn when it was shipped.
The second is a hammerless DAO auto-eject lemon squeezer. The serial no. is 757 089. The barrel length is 4", with fixed sights. Caliber is 38 S&W. There is a strain screw in the usual location. Based on the high serial number I suspect it may be a 4th model? I would like to learn the shipping date for this one also.
Neither one of these has a lanyard or swivel attachment, they seem to be fairly generic to me.
Thank you for any information you may be able to give me.
