I am about to purchase a S&W M37, but I had a couple of concerns. It is a Smith & Wesson, Model 37 (no dash), 38 Special, Air weight, with flat cylinder latch. The serial number is 1972xx. He said he purchased it in 1962. Could anyone tell me when it was originally made and if it came with the “brass screws.” You can see in the picture they appear to be brass?
Looks like someone gold plated your screws. It definitely didn't come that way. Fortunately, blue screws are easy to find.
That was my thought. I am seriously the thinking about going ahead and buying it. It isn’t a great price, but an okay price. It is a toss up between this and a M60 I found.
