I hope I got this in the right forum. What would the date of birth be for a nickel 34-1 with a 2 inch barrel with serial number M1705xx be? Any idea of value? The gun is 95% - nickel is excellent with no frosting or flaking. Thanks in advance.

Call S&W and ask them. They've always given me the info.

M1705xx = 1981. This would be just before S&W eliminated the pinned barrel.
Nickel plated in about 95% condition, it should sell for around $650. More if you have the box, docs and tools. These Kit Guns are wonderful little revolvers.

Here's mine:
