Yes, this list is a random selection of model 41’s with a partial serial number and the year that pistol was shipped. I consider this to be confusing and misleading. It was dropped from the 3rd edition of The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson.
As a member if the SWCA, PM first-model and ask him for assistance in gaining access to the databases. He was very helpful to me at the last Symposium in Phoenix.
