[Doug C.]

Call the mfrs first if possible. Most are pretty good

Welcome! The members here are very helpful if you post enough ID information with the serial number (and not for you, but please create a 'NEW' post with each request ).

Here is the information we need:

For lots of this information, the Standard Catalog of S & W (4th edition to be printed in June 2016) is the best reference.
