Hello, I am new to this forum. I just picked up a model 19 serial number K318640 the other number on it is 38800( I think) does any body know when this gun was built. It is in excellent shape maybe never been fired. It has a target trigger, target hammer, target stocks, white outline, red ram, pin barrel and recessed cylinder. Would like to know what year it was made. Thank you
Welcome from the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey.
Just a suggestion, since all the folks here tend to be honest (absolutely no digs intended), when you post a serial number, mark the last 2 or 3 digits as Xs.
Welcome to the forum! Stick around and you will learn much.
Wow! A Md 19 in the condition you describe from the late 50s is a real prize. Congratulations. Also, there are some good posts here on the forum regarding how to post pics. Do a search and I'm sure you will find some helpful info.
