Earliest Model 58 Serial Number?

[05CarbonDRZ]

I am just curious to see what is the lowest serial number on a Members Model 58 is? I picked up a set of N Frame Diamond PC Magna's with serial number S256543.In the Standard Catalog of S&W it states they started in the S256500 range.

Interesting; I have N-frame Diamond PC Magna grips #256513, but no gun!

My 58 was S 256625. Sold it years ago and have been kicking my butt since. My oldest current 58 is S 295411

You should start looking for a set of PC stocks for yours! Looks like there are some available!
I'm guessing those don't number to the gun, do they?

I have S295226. Pretty close to yours.

The 58 is much easier to shoot with the standard Magnas than the PC's. The orignial owner told me that these had been on it since it was close to new.

They are unnumbered. This was a common modification on the 58's I have been told.

My nickle 58 came with targets from the factory.

My S prefix 58 is 257056 and has some goofy looking target grips.
Dad bought it new in December 1964.

One of my N prefix 58s has the stock modified magnas and the other has standard magnas.

Do you want to trade your Goofy Stocks for a original set of PC Magnas?.......

The year was 1966.
My M58 serial # was S259996.
I foolishly traded it off for something better at the time.

I have S 257888, so first 12 months or so of production. I also have N 188057, which would have been one of the last of the 58's from ~1974. Neither came with the original PC Magnas, so both sport closely matched sets of Grashorn stags. Their original numbered grips must be out there somewhere, but at least the two look pretty darned good until I find them.

My blued M58 has the following serial number: N233468. Any help would be great.

I also have a blued M57; serial number S320163

Did those come off that auction site? Ifso I was watching them, glad you got 'em!

Mine is S257735, and I shoot the mess out of it on a regular basis.

I'm not real clear on when it was made, but I guess it would have been within the first year of 58 production. I'm open if anyone thinks they can maybe nail it down to a month and year based on letters of other 58s.

I just picked up a 58 serial# S256928. From the above thread, it was one of the first made. Cool!

I have S259767. It's a beautiful gun but I've never shot it.
