Hi everyone. This is my first post about my first handgun.

My son just picked up a Model 39 for me. He is an experienced handgun marksman from the service and he is preparing the gun for me at this time. This Model 39 has been living in a safe and it appears to be unfired (other than the factory rounds).

I'm applying to S&W for the history records, but I hear that can take several weeks to receive. I'm hoping that someone here knows the approximate ship date of this gun.

Serial Number 37XXX. Alloy frame.

I thank you in advance!

Most likely Aug/Sep time frame 1963.

Thank you for the FAST reply!
