Hey all,
Can anyone tell me how old this S&W 67-1 SN AHV3XXX
is? I thinking it might be older than I am but don't think it's been around quiet that long.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Can you confirm your 67 is a dash one? Your serial number may indicate it is a dash two or later. All the dash one guns I'm aware of were pinned and serial numbered in the "K" category. Just checkin'.
According to SCSW the DOB is around 1985,
My 67-1 is serial AHY 6291 and is also unpinned ,
The change to crush fitting barrels occurred during the Model 67 dash 1 production run and did not warrant a dash revision.
(Most blue K frames were in their dash 4 revision and the same changes are seen)

Note that the trademark also moved from the right side to the left side.
The Standard Catalog indicates that in 1982 S&W quit pinning the barrels of the 67-1 series but did not go to "-2" until 1988. So the early 67-1s were pinned while the later ones were not. The serial number looks like about 1985.
I did a double check on the serial and the dash, both under the grips and inside at the back end of the barrel.... SN is AHV3XXX and under that it says 67-1. so yes I'm sure. Looks like a clean & tight 1985 model. Trademark is on the left side also.
Thanks for the info
