Anyone ever seen one with a serial number beginning in CDA?

Hmm, that's what I thought too but there is just a 42 on the yoke below the serial number. The gun is also blued instead of the matte black I've seen on most 442's. It also has the "AIRWEIGHT 38 SPL. CTG." on the barrel and it seems as if I've only seen this barrel marking on older models. Thank you for the info!!

It def just has the 42 because I thought about the "042' also. Possibly some weird factory anomaly?

Does it have the grip safety?

No grip safety.

This is a very timely post as there is a light weight model 42 (used but mint) for sale in my local shop which i almost bought and may go back tommorrow and get. It has the original blue card board box (which i think makes it early 90's vintage). It features:
High polish blued finish; Aluminum frame, NO "airweight" barrel stamping but its definitely an airweight.
Can't remember the serial number. It caught my attention because i recognized it as a smith you don't seevery often.
