Don't have the capacity to do pics. (old flip phone) If I can get my wife to help , I will try to get some. This is my second Perfected Model , but is in much much better shape than my other one. Both are neat little guns, I knew the .38 was old due to the 4 digit serial no. Thanks for the info.

Recently picked up two more handguns that that I really needed. The first is a Perfected Model with a four digit serial number , 9xxx. The gun is in 92 to 93 % shape with perfect matching number grips. I would like to know about when it was produced . The other is a hand ejector .32 long also in...

I have an old registered magnum barrel, six and one half inch . The bore is perfect , but it would need a refinish. No pitting, but discolored. It has a King pat. front sight on it. It is out at my shop , but I can look at it tomorrow and let you know the reg. number. Let me know if you might...

Thanks, I got to thinking about the gun (Haven't shot it in several years) and I recalled that when I bought it , it had a 5 inch sporter wt. barrel on it. I found the long barrel somewhere and put it on because it was easier to shoot. It's a very smooth working gun. Thanks again .

I have an old model 41 Smith that I am curious about as to it's date of manufacture . It is a long barrel gun with the muzzle brake. The serial number is 23938 , and it is marked model 41 on the right side. Any help would be appreciated .

They are asking 1200 or 1300 dollars for it. I don't remember exactly . No box or papers.

Thanks for the information . I think I'm going to pass on it , but it sure is a beautiful gun.

I am looking at a 27-2 four inch nickel Smith . It is as new. I believe it has been fired , but looks pristine. What were the production dates, begining and ending , for it's run. I thought they had pinned barrels , but this one doesn't . Did Smith make another run of these in the last several...

I've had several 27's and pre 27's and and never got them to shoot into one jagged hole at 25 yards , especially offhand. What kind of ammo were you using ?

Numrich has both original grips and repro lanyard loop .

Numrich has original grips for the victory. Just bought a set for mine about a week or two ago. I think they were 19.95 plus shipping. Well used but not abused.

I cast some 200 gr. rn's for my Victory the other day . Loaded with 1.5 grains of Bullseye , they did very well . Two to three inches at 15 yards. My book shows that to be a maximum load , and they showed no pressure , dropping out of the cylinder easily .

I have one , serial number 42807 . I was told when I purchased it that it was made in 1948. From what I'm reading here this must not be the case. Could it have been sitting at S&W for several years before being shipped out ?

32-20 is one of my favorite rounds. I have a Win 53 takedown , a Rem Mod 25R carbine and a Smith HE. with a 6 inch bbl. As much fun as I can take. All shoot extremely well.

Got my magnifying glass out and looked again . The stamp is sharp and clear , but there is nothing visible there. Maybe it was tilted when they applied the stamp. I borrowed a mold from a friend of mine that casts . It makes 200 grain replicas of the original British round. I cast about 60 of...
