Earliest Model 58 Serial Number?

[Art Doc]

Guess this comes back every 4 years?

I have S259872 shipped April of 1968. Number would seem a couple years earlier but the 58 was a slow seller from the start and they often sat in inventory a long time.

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

I bought some a week ago off an auction site. They are supposed to be delivered today. The number on the grips is pretty close to the number on the gun which was shipped in April 1977. I was looking at both pairs that were available and bought the ones that appeared to be the closest to mine in number.

The earliest shipping date for a Model 58 I have in my notes is August 6, 1964. Serial number is S256119.

Guess I should have looked at the date of your previous post. And yes I did buy some grips to replace the non correct ones that came. With the gun
