2.5" mod 66 identification
Got this good looking 2.5"bbl model 66-2 and can't figure out which is the serial number so I can date it. Usually it's three letters and four numbers,at least from what I've seen. The only serial# I see is at the bottom of the grip are 3 numbers,the letter K and 3 other numbers. Inside the cylinder arm are 5 numbers and nothing above the model number. Can anyone date this and tell me if these are the right numbers?

The first couple years of the Model 66-2 still had a "K" serial number.

The 3 digit/K/3 digit serial numbers were from sometime in 1981 to 1983. If you can tell us the first 3 digits we can give you the year it was probably made.

I've had the exact pistol as pictured above ( including the Pachmayer compac grips) for about 17 years.
My gun's serial # is: 217K5(XX). would someone be kind enough to let me know the approximate build date?

Mod 66s are just cool looking revolvers. Enjoy yours, I know I have mine. IMO-they look better with a nice set of wood combat stocks.

I also bought one of these recently. Mine is a -7 with the dreaded lock but ~man~ what a nice shooter. The Uncle Mike boot grips on it are the first of that kind I've had and they're very comfortable.
