I need some help finding the shipping date of a model 37 (no dash) Airweight. 3-screw, 1&3/4" barrel, no barrel pin, serial # AAM11xx (x's mine). Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have a 38/40 Heavy Duty with a 5"barrel. The right Magna grip is also stamped with the serial number. The serial # is 480XX (x's mine). Thanks for any help! I would also appreciate your thoughts on the bluing. The bluing is a deep, heavy blue that is very well done. It shows little sign...

I recently purchased S&W pre-war 38/44 Heavy Duty (N-frame) that came with a holster I haven't been able to identify. It is a black leather thumb-break holster with a factory belt slot patch sewn into the backside. In the belt slot patch there is a logo that looks something like an anvil with...

I recently bought a 1947-era square-butt K-frame pre-model 10. The grips that came on the gun are not original - they are much newer. They are the correct style, and fit the frame precisely except for the width - they are up to 1/16th too wide. Here is my question: Were the grips on the early...

I have a 5" barrel, 5-screw, post-War K-frame. The serial number is S 9144XX. I haven't been able to find a database, and extrapolating from reported guns has been difficult. I'm guessing the latter part of 1947, but would appreciate it if anyone could direct me to a data source or provide me...

Please go to post #18 for the update: I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this S&W 32 top-break 4th model (SN-2177XX). It is plated on everything except the trigger guard, trigger, and hammer. The medallions in the mother-of-pearl grips are plated as well. It doesn't look 'exactly'...

I would like to remove just the sight blade from a 1967-ish Model 39. It has a screw for windage adjustment which will turn only so far left and right. Is it staked in or is there a way to remove it without messing things up?

Could someone help me narrow down the date of manufacture (or shipping) of a Model 39? The serial # is 829XX. By extrapolating from other serial numbers, I'm guessing it's Oct-Nov 1967? Thanks!

I need a "gas ring" (also called a "gas collar") for a third model S&W 32 Safety Hammerless (lemon squeezer, New Departure). I've checked all the regular places - Numrich, Jack First, etc. and drawn a blank. Does anyone know where I might find one? Thanks.

In the "Smith & Wesson Forum" logo at the top of this page is a gray bracket with four screws. The upper left screw is larger than the other three. This drives me nuts! Has this been discussed before, or am I the only one who's a bit odd? :eek:

In breaking down a S&W Model 1903 .32 Caliber hand-ejector I noticed the hammer has two sleeved holes that seem to have no purpose. In the picture they are roughly in the center of the hammer, one to the right and below the other. The holes pass all the way through the hammer and seem to have...

I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction in identifying this revolver. It is a six-shot "32 LONG CTG" (left side of barrel) single-action hammer pistol. On the top of the barrel it is stamped "Smith & Wesson, Springfield Mass. U.S.A." Below that are three lines of...

I need help. I'm going to try and follow the information recommended in the 'Identify' sticky. This is a six-round hand ejector. On the frame underneath the yoke is a hard-to-read mark that 'might' be the letter 'H' or 'M' followed by the smaller number 1. Below that is the number 121XX (Xs...
