[Iffy]

New member here. Am cataloguing guns for an estate and there are (6) modern Smith & Wesson revolvers that I have would like to put dates to. Should I list all 6 here or would someone prefer I pm them the info? Thx

Put em out there. Folks will be all over them.

Welcome! No problem with just posting them. With very few exceptions this will be on the bottom of the grip frame and be sure to include any letters. Value estimates will require photos.

617-6 maybe 2010
66-1 late 1980
25-5 1981 or 1982
29-2 1971 or 1972
657 maybe 1986
629-2 1989

Some have had success with a free phone call to ask S&W. If you have original boxes for post-1980 guns, the date is on the box end label.

Dates that I listed are NOT certain, but the best I can guess.

Thank you so much for this info. The widow is trying to give as much info as she can for the heirs. These dates are close enough for that. Thanks again .
