My father is 84 years old, has always accompanied a revolver Smith & Wesson hand ejector, .38 Special, with Serial Number: 584101. It would be very nice for us to know the date of manufacture of the gun as it has a huge sentimental value for him. Can someone please tell us the date of manufacture?. Thank you very much in advance for your valuable help.
DATE OF MANUFACTURE HELP PLEASE? AYUDA POR FECHA DE FABRICACIÓN POR FAVOR?

Welcome to the Forum.
If this number was taken from the butt of the revolver and there is no letter visable, even if off to one side, such as "K", "C", "D", it probably shipped in the late 1920s.
One of our hand ejector experts will be along shortly to narrow it down more, or to correct my guesstimate.

A picture would help identifying it.
I have one with Serial number 5411xx, based on it's extractor rod knob we figure it was manufacture in 1926 early 1927.
Your SN is slightly higher, I'm guessing 1927-28.

Your revolver is almost certain to be a S&W Military and Police (M&P) model. That serial number would date it to the late 1920s, probably 1927-1928 as previously stated. If it still has original grips, they should be checkered wood, with a diamond around the screw hole, and without S&W medallions at the top.
Estimados, Mr. Muley Gil, Mr. JimmyJones y Mr. Dwalt, les agradezco profundamente vuestra valiosa ayuda. En efecto, los apretones son los originales y son de madera a cuadros, con un diamante alrededor del orificio del tornillo, sin S & W medallones en la parte superior.Tiene una terminación EXCELENTE que desde mi punto de vista , no hemos visto jamás en otro revólver de producción de décadas posteriores. Existen muchos detalles en la fabricación que sin duda pertenece a una época en que Maestros Armeros hacían su trabajo. No quiero decir con esto que ahora Smith & Wesson no hace buenos armas, por el contrario, hoy día son los mejores revóveres en producción del Mundo. Solo que compartivamente a aquellos del pasado, los de hoy no tienen ,el refinamiento y la Maestria de aquellos. Un fuerte abrazo Fraterno, agradecido. PERA
