UDT and UDD.
I would guess and say around 2010.
If you post pictures it may nail it down, a picture of the box label may do also.

Good morning, quick question. I was at the Winston Salem gun show. There was a dealer there with a model 41 with box n papers. The package included a 5.5 " barrel wrapped in wax s&w paper, bianci leather holster. All paper work was In the box Including the pistol application from the sheriff who ordered it. The gun was presented as unfired. Only 1 magazine in the box. Cleaning kit and muzzle break included as well as a fancy set of grips. He was asking 2500. According to him the 5.5 barrel was ordered with the revolver but no serial number on the barrel or paperwork to back that up. Is it worth that. I would rate the 41 at 98% but I am unsure if it's worth that much. I am having trouble with the picture but I will provide it shortly.
A) I think his price is too high.
B) It's a pistol, not a revolver.

Greetings, looking at a 41 .22 SHORT serial number 74557 with 3 port muzzle brake. Does this serial number jive with the 1,000 41 shorts that were manufactured?
Several in the 76XXX range, but at least 1 in the 745XX range. Jinks/ S&W for your ship date.

Welcome to the Forum from Canada,
Your Model 41 dates to about 1972. We love pic's here!!
Yes a 1st year gun will add value to the gun for sure. I also have a 1st year issue m41 and love shooting every week still. Myself I would want more then the price of a new one for mine if I ever decided to sell it. Probably leave it for my Grandson who loves to shoot with Papa. He's only 16 now but has great shooting skills and eyes for the sport as well.

Your grandson is one lucky boy! Glad you have him to pass the pistol on to.

Smith & Wesson model 41
I was at my local gun shop and the owner holds onto the nice firearms that people trade in or sell to him. He gave me a call on a model 41 and told me to come over and look at it. I've heard that it's one of the best 22 rimfire semiauto by most people on YouTube like hickok45 and 22plinkster. The gun is 7 3/8 barrel with a chrome like muzzlebreak and a cocking indicator he says it's a 1958 vintage and the condition is nice the bluing is great with some wear on the grips and he wants $1500 for it. It's a lot of money and just want to make a good choice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The muzzle break should be black in colour, and it sounds like a lot of money. An early gun would be nice but I would keep looking.
Please confirm approx YOM and value of S&W 41
I read this thread with interest and believe the S&W 41 I have was shipped sometime in late 1964 or early 1965. Its S/N is 706XX and earlier posts show shipping dates of NOV '64 for 700XX and DEC '65 for 760XX, which is ~460/mo during that 13 month period. I would think 706XX was shipped perhaps late '64 or early '65. What would the experts suggest?
Regarding value, I am liquidating a collection belonging to a deceased friend's wife and would appreciate your thoughts on a "going price". This 41 has the 5" light weight field bbl and is very lightly used. My friend shot all of the guns he acquired but this one shows no bluing wear, scars or scratches and the wood grips are in VG or better condition. I would rate the overall condition at 98%. Unfortunately, no box, tools or paperwork could be found. There was an old box of Federal Monarch standard velocity loads missing 20 rds in the shoebox with this pistol so that may have been the extent of its use. Any assist you can offer with pricing this very nice pistol would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and Happy New Year!

I'm no expert but happen to have one about the same condition and vintage, 74xxx, w/o factory box and it, like yours, has the cocking indicator. According to my latest Blue Book of Gun Values 2015 edition one in 98% condition shows $1,000. Add $100 for 5.5" bbl with extended sight. Mine is 5.5" but I'm not sure what an extended sight is? Also "add 15%-40% for early variations with cocking indicator (disc. 1978).

Thank you ridewv. Your value info from a more recent than my latest version (15yrs old) of BBoGV is very helpful.
I'm no expert on 41s either but have seen an extended sight version, which is actually that. The front sight sits about 1.5" fwd from the front of the barrel on what looks like an extension to a rib on a shotgun bbl. One can be seen on the pistol in this ad on the gb site: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/610692315 . Sounds like you have a nice early 41 too. Thanks again for value info.
