I added to my Smith and Wesson collection today.....traded for a model 10-5 with a 2" barrel. I have the big Smith and Wesson book but can't seem to nail down the birthday of my new treasure. Any help with this would be awsome !!!
Model 10-5
2" Barrel 3 screw
number on bottom of grip frame D782613
Sr # GX178
and under that number is A 11
Thanks for your time !!!
If you are looking in the SCSW, the reason you can't find it is your Ser.# doesn't mean anything and your "Number on bottom of grip frame" is the Serial Number.
!975 late probably. It is a little ahead of the middle of the 1975-1976 date range.
