There are many nomenclature identity terms that S&W never used that some collectors do use. Even though they don't officially exist, they are, for the most part, tolerated because they have been in use for a long time. "Pre-Model xx" is just one of them. However I believe the proper nomenclature descriptors should be what S&W itself used at the time the gun was made.
