I know this is the wrong section for this ?

I could not find the best place to ask this question so to the moderator please feel free to place in the appropriate area,

As a new member here I appreciate everyone dating and giving backgrounds on others "treasures".

I hate to go to the well too often and would like to do preliminary checking on my own. I have 15 Smiths from accumlating them over the years.

SO, what is the best reference material I can purchase or access?

The Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson 4th edition.

What he said. You can't go wrong.

Between this forum and the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson you will find an answer to almost any question you might have. You will even find answers to questions that you didn't even know you had!

Amazon has it, about 30 bucks but worth every penny to anyone interested in Smith and Wessons.

If you want details about the history of older products, you can't go wrong with adding these two to your shelves:

Smith & Wesson 1857-1945 by Neal and Jinks
