Posting this on behalf of a friend: He has a Model 66 with 2.5" barrel that was purchased in early 1975. When looking up the serial #, he encountered a discrepancy. The book he is using (I assume one of the Supica's, Standard Catalog of S&W) says the revolver should start with a serial number 2KXXXXX. The serial # off his revolver starts with 82K1XXX. Would anyone perhaps know the date of manufacture for his revolver? He his in belief the 2.5" versions were not manufactured until late 1974.

Any help would be appreciated.

82K puts it 1980'ish.

That would make it a 66-1? is it a no dash?

Snubs as mentioned did not come out until 1974 with round butt, with production continuing on.
