14-3 identify

[kress]

Dear Sirs

Bought this S&W 14-3 serial number: 3K31674, at a Swedish gun auction today.

Does anybody know what year is was build?

It looks to have been shipped in 1972. The factory did not record build dates at that time, only when the gun was sold and left the factory.

How strict are the laws regarding buying handguns in Sweden?

Hope this is helpful.

They have a 14-3 for sale here in Canada. I'm considering it, but .38 Special only. I'm so used to .357 Magnums.
