No letter in serial number No letters, numbers only

Me too A friend picked this one up last week. He knows S&W's but isn't into milsurps so input would be appreciated. He understands: it looks like it's been used as a hammer. I told him: Lend Lease to Britain, maybe some other part of the Empire. Thanks

Victory Just picked up a Victory, 38 Special, Serial # V64776. Can post pictures later, but can someone give me a ballpark date of manufacture? I assume fairly early with the 5 digit serial number. Thanks.

Victory Thanks for the input, gentlemen, and I welcome more. I also have a 4" barrel Victory in 38 Special, but the variations confused me. FWIW, the rear most side plate screw seems to have had the top flattened--but otherwise appeared to be the same screw as the others (save the topmost...

Just got this one, Serial # V 454490. Interested in what posters more knowledgeable than myself could tell me about when it was made, etc. I know some of the basics, but whatever else I can learn would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks very much for the input. S&W makes this less than clear to a rookie like me and I didn't want to assume anything, hence the questions. This was an impulse buy for me at my local, friendly pawn shop. $250 out the door with the original box. I'll have it out for some exercise in the...

Ammo?? Serial Number: 6D21XXX. A couple pieces of the paperwork had printing markings the led me to believe they were printed in 1977. The right side of the barrel is stamped: "38 S&W Special CTG". Is the the correct ammo for this pistol what the world calls "38 Special", not 38 Smith? I...

I just bought a Model 10 - 7, (Fin B, Barrel 4, Stock S) as the box label reads, in 38 S&W Special according to barrel stamp. I am sufficiently ignorant that I do not know if this caliber is the same as regular 38 S&W or different. And, if I were smarter, I'd be able to post some pictures...

$100, or best offer. This is a relist as I was unaware classifieds required pricing. Same box & paperwork as before. Box in decent shape, paperwork pretty much like new; indicates Bangor Punta. Sorry, no gun, just these accessories. I believe this all to be from one pistol and is a group...

Thank you, gentlemen. I just returned from a friend's who is a professional photographer and he took pictures of it. I am new enough to this board, I wouldn't know where to list it for sale or what to ask. My thought was Guns - Online Gun Auction - Guns at GunBroker.com or the NRA site, where...

Serial number is 671XX. As I understand it that would make it about 1916, but I'm still new enough at this to be way off. I plan to sell it, so I want to get my facts right before listing it. Box and manual are not correct, it's just what came with it. I bought several guns from an estate...

I need to ID an S&W 32-20 revolver I picked up from an estate. It's shown in an S&W box, but the box and manual shown are not correct. I have been told it's a 1905 hand ejector or a later Model 10, but I don't see the model 10 listed in 32-20, only 38. I plan to sell it and want to get it...
