Model 41 with no logo?

[Diplomat1981]

I was recently going through my model 41's old and new.
When I went to look at my 5.5" I noticed it had no logo on it. This gun is a UAZ prefix. I own another that is a UBK prefix. The UBK is actually engraved where as the UAZ is surface markings no deep engraving. I was wondering if any one knows when they made the change and if they stopped putting the logo on the slide at a certain point in making 41's. I have noticed new production has the logo.

I also have a brand new Model 41 Performance Centre made April 2014 that is missing the "Performance Center" and the S&W logo. Very weird. Anyone know why S&W would do this?

Lobonco please post pictures of your performance center. Thanks

Is your performance center also missing the address on the other side of the slide.

Sounds like a couple of Friday afternoon specials.

It's very interesting that these things are missed on such expensive high quality guns. I realize we are human but there should be some kind of quality control. From what I understand this has happened on a lot of the performance center guns. Why I do not know. If anyone viewing has a Smith with a similar situation please post with pictures.

Actually, I really like the plain slide model 41!
