I don't think that you have enough numbers in the serial number. A Model 10-5 with a D-serial number of 6 digits, starting D89XXXX would be 1976-1977.

The Model 10-5 started in 1962 and the "D" letter prefix started in late 1967 at D1. Serial number D98XX would likely be 1968.

Default finding manufacture date
I have a Smith and Wesson 38 special 6" barrel. Its serial number is D385749. I would like to know when it was made. It was my fathers, and I remember him firing it in the mid to late 50s. I recently used it to qualify for my conceal carry permit. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Welcome to the forum. If you can, please post some pictures of your gun. We like pictures, and particularly pictures of “Dad’s guns”. Good shootin’,
