New To Me Model 49 - Manufacture Date
Gentlemen (and Ladies?),
Just procured a Model 49 no dash to compliment my Model 38. Was hoping to get some help determining the approximate manufacture date.
As stated above, it is a Model 49 with no dash. It is blued steel with what appears to be the original non-diamond grips, non-pinned barrel and a serial number of ADE961X. Condition is very good with some holster wear but very little evidence of use (which has nothing to do with the manufacture date). As near as I can tell that makes it a 1984 or newer but if you could narrow it down a bit more that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for sharing your expertise. I will post an image or two in the morning after cleaning off the range grunge from today...

Probably late 1983,
My guess is with the alpha serial prefix it does not have a barrel set pin ?

Correct, no barrel pin.
Images as promised, with my Model 38 in the background...

ADE961x was shipped in October 1983, give or take a month, congrats!

Hobo with a Shotgun!
Well, cruising the forum this morning and look who I find! Bet you can't guess who I am...my liberty-minded friend! Nice to see you on here. I see you've decided to take the red pill and join the resistance. Before you know it, you'll be leaving that "tactical tupperware bottomfeeder" at home and shooting a thinking man's wheelgun more often.

A thinking man's wheelgun? You mean for folks who can only count to five or six?
Unbelievable as it may be, that red pill was taken a few years ago. Here's a ****** family photo of all but one of my S&W wheelguns to prove it.
- 38, 49, 60-7, 64-3, 64-5, 342, 637 (not shown) -
P.S. I hope you haven't driven on any roads this weekend...

Note to self. dynamike is drawn to the pink grips on the 60 and missed his chance to rag me about the Delta grips on the 342. Will have to use this preference/oversight to my advantage next month at IDPA...
