I just committed to a LGS to pick up (tomorrow) what I think is an early example of a Model 14-3, based on the four digit serial number. But, as I am learning dating a Smith can be perplexing. This one is a 6" barrel, standard hammer and trigger, Magna stocks, Patridge front sight. Excellent condition, no cylinder turn line (that I saw anyway!).
Serial number 1K43XX. Does that make it 'early', or do the prefix combinations 'jumble' things up a bit? I'm guessing mid -late 1960's(???).
BTW, gun only...no box!
