Been looking to pick up a nice 52 for a couple years. Was just to
tight to shell out the $$$. Today I managed to trade one up at a
big outdoor Trader Day event. I don't know a lot about 52 models
This one has serial 535xx. Got no box or docs with gun. This one
has been fired very little and probably has never been apart. The
closest I can tell is this gun was made 1960 to 1970. Would like
a 52 expert to verify this. There is no prefixes, or dashes.

Congratulations, you've acquired one of the finest target pistols ever made by S&W. For more history and manufacturing date for your Model 52, check the Standard Catalogue of S&W- 4th Ed forum for info.

Nice 52. The closest Sn. I have is 53231, shipped Dec. 1962.
There are a lot of Threads here on this great gun. Best
