I have a 4" 48 that by serial number should be a dash 3 but is stamped with no dash. Not sure how S&W pulled the frames for manufacture on the 48's.

Without any rhyme or reason. They were in the business of selling guns and making money and didn't give a whit about collectors. They didn't believe in the FIFO (First In First Out) system either and grabbed the next handiest frame available, worked it up and shipped it out. It's the collectors cross to bear.

Dick....I don't believe FIFO is important unless your product has an expiry date.
