Model 60 dom

[DEF3]

Hello all have my fathers model 60. S.N. is R163457 . Any rough idea on ship date? I’m not up to speed on the J frames so to speak. Thanks

SCSW 4th edition has R100000 - R190000 as shipping from 1974 - 1977. A really nice pass down sir.

Here are several from the database that might help narrow it down a bit, but the last one offers proof Smith & Wesson didn't ship in serial number order.

R160301 shipped in April 1976

R163530 shipped in September 1976

R164641 shipped in October 1976

R166356 shipped in May 1976
