I have 2 recently aqquired Smiths I am trying to date:
1. Model 58 serial # N179***
2. Model 66-1 serial # 74K67**
The 66 barely has a turn line, the 58 wasn't shot much but carried a lot

Thanks

Model 58 serial # N179***
Theoretically from 1973.


Model 66-1 serial # 74K67**
The 74K numbers were used in 1981.

Note: That is two years after S&W used 75K through 77K; and one year after they used 78K and 79K. A perfect illustration of how serial numbers were neither used nor shipped in order.
