I inherited a Smith and Wesson Model 34-1 from my grandfather this month and I would like to know more about it.

It got a 4 inch barrel and blue finish. The serial number is located under the handle and the number is ''M763XX'' It also have a stamp that says ''E19'' behind the yoke with the model number.

I would be grateful for any information about this lovely little revolver! I also apologize for my english, Im from Norway

Welcome to the Forum

Sweet looking revolver, your grandfather had good taste

M76,xxx would have been manufactured right around 1974

Thanks!

Yes, he was a man of style Thank you for the info. Ive looked around on the internet, but havent found much about serial numbers and the date they were made.

Welcome! This model is also called the .22/32 (.22 caliber built on a .32 frame) Kit Gun. A small handy revolver for informal target shooting or hunting as part of your “kit” (supply bag). They were first made in the 1930s and a similar version is still produced. Enjoy!
