That is not the serial number

The serial number will be three alpha characters followed by four numbers . . . . . for example ABC1234

It should be located on the left side of your frame, just above the model number

 

[4506517]

Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson?

Just sayin

If you have the box, the SPEC ORD number on the end label is a Julian date.

The serial # is B0448

That's probably an asset/property number like was put on the CHP pistols.

Cant say for sure, but I have 2 Model 6906 starting VCA (10-1994) and VCH (12-1994) so a good guess would be 1995 - but you can get actual info from S&W if you send email to [email protected]

SCSW 4th Edition shows VCJ shipping in 1994, and VCS in 1995. Sorry, no VCU reported; I believe the list gets updated with each edition.

I have a VCK19xx that was made in Sept-1994 so I agree 1995 seems logical. You can call S&W too for an answer.
