A question in another thread (from someone with the BAN prefix) got me thinking...
Does anyone else own a S&W with a 3-letter serial number prefix that spells a word? If so, what is it?
Just curious... as I said in the other thread, I'm waiting for the prefix GUN.

You should get one with a DDD prefix to go with it.

The one on my Glock spells HAY. I only got one Smith with the three alpha serial number, there just random letters. Something like AZB?

Leaving for a gun show in York PA and checking serial numbers before I pack up, and I realized my Model 639 has a TBVXXXX on it. Dont know about that one either. It was a police trade in from St Louis PD. stamped on frame.

This may be the record for a long dead thread revived ......
4 years and 5 months !!
I have a 3" 66-3 with CAT , and 3 625-3s with the BEN prefix.I guess they're the BEN brothers.
I recently purchased 2 686-5s' BOTH with my deceased older brothers initials ---- CDT for Christopher Dean Trosper. R.I.P.
One a 4 inch , and one a 6" .
Regards and Happy Holidays ,
Allen Frame
