    How Many '1988 Special' Model 66-3 Were Made?

    Bought a 66-3” round butt in the late 80’s (to the best of my recollection). Stupidly sold it when I sold my collection. With MAJOR sellers remorse I searched for another and found it here. My replacement is Serial# BBN3255. Not sure where that puts it in the production run. This is my...

    Getting old, thinking of selling my collection

    Just my 2-Cents garnered from selling most my collection through a firm I had purchased from in the past. I used Lock-Stock-&-Barrel investments. (LSB) They’re a west coast operation but do travel for assessment, valuation, pick-up, and sales. They list the items on various gun auction...

    If You Could Only Own One Smith & Wesson… What Would It Be?

    new to the site 66-3 question

    Hello all. I'm new to the site here and have a question related to my S&W S/S 66-3 3" .357 round butt. I special ordered it from the factory in 1988. Serial # is BBT16XX. It's marked 66-3 on the frame where the cylinder assembly opens. The part that pivots open and holds the cylinder is also...
