Just bought these today from a guy in Texas that has many more in the same condition. He's looking through his collection to see if he has some more that would peak my interest.

Any help in dating/value appraising these would be greatly appreciated.

Model 12-2 2" Nickle SR# 2D73175 (with original box/papers/tools)

Model 67 (no dash) 4" Blue SR# 3K63125 (with original box/papers/tools)

Quickest and easiest way is to call a S&W Rep. and have him look up the Serial Number.

Hello
The Model 12-2 should be around 1977.
The Model 67 should be around 1972, which was the first year this revolver was offered.
These are always just educated guesses, though. S&W shipped revolvers in no particular order.
A factory letter is the only way to have certainty on a shipping date.
