Frames are a touchy thing. S&W's policy was to sell frames only to gunsmiths, at least when I worked for a gunsmith years ago. Serial numbers, liability, and stuff like that. It is possible to maybe find a frame that was salvaged from a damaged gun but chances are slim to none, especially airweight frames which are not the strongest to begin with. Possibly S&W might build you a gun with your parts. The worst they can say is no if you call them. Sorry this is not better news.
