Charter Arms Explorer Serial Numbers Is there a data base which will give serial numbers / years of manufacture? I have one with a serial number of 266XXX and would like to know the approximate year of manufacture. It is in like new condition, inside the plastic sleeve, in the original box with...

I noticed the same six pointed star on the grip of the pistol at the very bottom of the page on this link. I am curious if this is an indication of a possible manufacturer? Nouvelle page 0 James

Here are the only marks on the revolver. There are initials, (WT & WTL), scratched into the inside of both grips. Not shown is the caliber marking on the left side of the barrel which reads, "32 WCF". There were no markings on the rear face of the cylinder. James

I'll take a couple of the entire revolver and post them. There aren't many additional markings. James

Does anyone know who this maker is? It is on a Spanish copy of what appears to me a Model 1910 chambered in .32 WCF (.32/20). Also I've not seen a grip medalion quite like this either. Any thoughts from anyone? Many thanks. James

Spanish Trade Mark Data Base Does anyone know if there is a data base of Spanish trade marks for S&W copies? I recently picked up one chambered in .32/20 (WCF) at an auction because of the emblem, (appears to be brass), on the grips resembled the Japanese chrysanthemum but does not have 16...

I have a S&W Model 39 which I've acquired from a friend. The story line is that his dad worked in the Treasury Dept. and this was his issued side arm. It is not government marked and is a true 39 and not a 39-2. As I understand it, the serial number, 376XX, places it produced pre-1970. What I...

April 18, 2001. It also has 219 stamped on the yoke and on the bottom of the grip frame. James

I am curious as to what would be a 2015 price for one that is unfired, in original aluminum case with all factory supplied documentation, sans the warranty card which was completed and mailed to S&W. The other half of the warranty card is included.

Thanks for your response. What I have encountered is supposedly a Performance Center Model 25-10 with a serial number of HEG0212. It is in the aluminum Performance Center hard case and has qll of the factory paperwork sans the registration card which was completed and mailed to S&W. The fact...

Does anyone know the serial number range for the Model 25-10 Hand Ejector of 2001. The Blue Book states that there were approximately 150 made for Sports South, Inc. in 2001. Any real collector interest in these? Many Thanks! James

[SIZE="4"]Thanks for the information. It does have a pinned barrel. I thought that it may have been produced sometime during the late 70's. Here are a few pictures. James

I'm new to this forum and have just received a almost like new S&W Model 17 with the serial number of 93K39XX and would like to know the approximate year of manufacture. Many thanks to anyone who can help with this. Thanks, James
