I'm new to this forum, in fact new to forums completely. But if I wanted a Smith & Wesson question answered I thought I'd give it a shot (no pun intended). I'm looking for a 1959 model 29. I have found on line year ranges like S182,000-S194,499 is Late 1958 to Early 1959 and S194,500-S206,999 is Late 1959 to Early 1960. Is the cut off point of the two years right in the middle of the serial numbers? Or did the make more guns at the beginning of year or end of year? Ideally I'd like to find one May 1959 but I know that maybe asking to much to narrow it down that close. But if someone knew where the 1959's started and ended it would be helpful Thank You!
