.32 S&W Long I frames

January 1918.

It likely shipped mid-1935. Grip medallions in that period were chrome plated (silver). $1500 is pretty stout unless there is serious provenance that goes with it.

I think Gil meant to type "mid-to-late 1920's." Serial 462442 shipped in January 1927. Serial 486344 shipped in December 1928.

Welcome to the forums from the Peanut Capital of the World! It is unlikely the factory would have worked on the gun. The military had armorers and arsenals that did their gun work. If the factory worked on it, it would have been after the war, IMO. Also, factory work is usually accompanied by a...

Perhaps. The ship dates we give for known ship dates are relative, not absolute WRT your gun. S&W did not ship in serial number order as is shown by the examples I provided. Also, they made guns in batches and shipped by distributor orders. During a particular period, they could have had a bunch...

No. Pre-WWI. Serial 259176 .38 M&P, 3rd Model (1905), 4th Change .38 S&W Special 6" Blue 04/00/1917 Serial 263103 .38 M&P, 3rd Model (1905), 4th Change .38 S&W Special 6" Blue 01/00/1917

If I understand you correctly, you are looking at a .38 M&P with Serial S8xxxxx. It is in the ballpark at $460.

Welcome to the forums from the Wiregrass! It has clearly been plated outside the factory. The gold or gold wash is plated and not from heat treatment. S&W did not heat treat its cylinders until the 1920's.

Welcome to the forums from the Peanut Capital of the World! Your .32-20 M&P, 3rd Change Target was likely made around 1912 or 1913. It has the gold medallion grips that were used from 1910 to 1920 and the large sideplate trademark stamp. It is also missing the 1914 patent date that began the 4th...

K-22 serial 655406 shipped 1/24/36 and 656078 shipped 5/36.

.32 RP serial 546703 shipped August 1950.

Looks good, Charlie! I like target grips better on the Masterpiece revolvers.

You're welcome, neighbor. Macon area? Ok, no need to post pictures unless you want to show off the gun. Just wanted to make sure we had the right serial to set the production period for your grips. If you have a smart phone, you can post them directly using the browser.

Welcome to the forums from the Peanut Capital of the World, Johnny! Since you are a new poster, I hope you don't take offense at my question. Did that serial come from the bottom of the butt frame or inside the yoke cut? If the latter, please post a picture of the one on the bottom of your butt...

It's a .32 Hand Ejector made around 1913 on the small I frame. It would have shipped with black hard rubber grips. J frame grips that totally enclose the grip frame will work.

Welcome to the forums from the Peanut Capital of the World! The Model 66-3 shipped around 1990. You might want to peruse the completed auctions at gunbroker.com to see what range these guns have been selling in. You have to register there and use the Advanced Search to search completed auctions.

As Gil said, it is a .38 M&P made in 1917. It is a 5 screw and the rear screw on the sideplate is covered by the more modern magna stocks. Original stocks would have been round top with gold medallions. This version of the .38 M&P was made from 1915 until after WWII. The only major difference...
