I picked it up at auction and these seem a little harder to find info on than most. Serial #M678##.
It has a coil hammer spring and is in 98%condition with a 2 inch barrel 22long rifle.
thanks

With all of our new or newer members (WELCOME ALL OF YOU TO THIS GREAT PLACE) looking for ship and/or manufacturing dates, this is a great time to plug the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson by Supica and Nahas. Jim and Rich just released the 5th edition and it's got very updated data regarding serial numbers of all S&W firearms. It's an incredible source of information.
And, you can also certainly consider joining the Smith & Wesson Collector's Association and the Historical Foundation. You can get your guns lettered here: Letters – Smith & Wesson Historical Foundation
