Very nice, but this thread needs to be moved to "Smith & Wesson Semi-Auto Pistols" sub-forum.

my apologies, do I have to delete and start over?

They didn't ship in strict SN order but yours probably shipped in 1962 or 1963.

Need the entire s/n to give you a good date. 34XXX only makes for a good guess.

34377 Thank you

It was 1 of 25 M39's Shipped October 1960. In comparison, and too support what Kwill mentioned, a lower s/n 32593 didn't ship until August 1961. Congrats on a great looking gun.
