How old is my Master 52-2 ?

Hello to all,
I've found a very nice S&W model 52-2 s/n A192588 here in France, any idea of its age ?
Thank you and good weekend.

I'm trying to insert an image...

Most likely shipped in 1973...

Hello,
Many thanks for the info, very nice gun as if brand new. I tested it yesterday and it shoots fine and works well, only the grip is not my size, too small.
Cheers,
Jacques

Hello to all,
Now I'm looking for a grip for that nice pistol, but difficult to find here in Europe. A Pachmayr would be a cheap solution I think. If any of you've got such an item in the drawer, let me know...
Cheers,
Jacques

Members can't ship gun parts out of the USA because of the way our government interprets ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations).

FYI - Grips for a Model 39 will fit your .38 Master.

Hello,
Sorry for coming back a bit late. Strange that the US regulation put in the same category a grip and a barrel?
In France, where the gun ownership is extremely strict, selling a grip is free of any rectriction...
Yes I know that the 39 and 52 are compatible in terms of grips.
Thank you anyway...
