First i want to say Thank You and I Love this Forum , you all are Very knowledgeable and helpful and again, if im posting in the wrong section, my apologies ( i will get the hang of it )

Here is the other revolver im trying to get some info on (year it was made, is it a common gun and value)

Barrel marked AIRWEIGHT 38 SPL CTG

Inside Cylinder MOD-37 and below that is 36612

Number on butt is 168xxx

No box and the original grips I cannot find

Thanks in advance, tina

Looks like between 1958-62 going by the number on the butt.That is the serial #. In 1969 the serial # started with a J.

Thanks wetdog
I was told it was fairly old

I would guess between $400-$500. If those grips are real pearl, they are worth $150-$200 themselves.

Thanks pinappleshooter

Is there a way to pinpoint the exact year of this gun ?

The most certain way is to request a factory letter. It will give you the exact date your revolver left the factory and to whom it was shipped. But it will cost you $50. You can call the Historian's Office at Smith & Wesson, and they will give you the year, maybe the month.

My best guess on yours would be 1960, maybe 1961. The serial numbers hit 295xxx in early 1962. I know that one numbered 3538xx left the factory in September, 1964. Nice looking Airweight, in any case. Thanks for posting.

Thanks So Much Jack

Very nice.....thank you.

Nice little M37, Tina. That $50 letter from Mr. Jinks would also tell you if the pearl grips were original.

Hi Retired,
They are not original, i bought them at one of the local guns shows a couple years ago and put em on (just love that look)
