model 60 no dash

[pyavka]

just recently picked up a model 60 no dash serial # r7349. Anyone know what year it was made???

Welcome! It is very likely from 1969.

Thank you much Alan

Welcome aboard from ol' Wyo.

If I were a betting man I'd bet on Alan's estimate.

Two in the database that bracket your new Model 60 are these:

R7146 -- shipped in August 1969

R7714 -- shipped in February 1970

S&W neither produced nor shipped revolvers in serial number order
so it's always a guess unless you pay $100 to get a letter from the
S&W Historical Foundation. It will tell you the date it shipped and
to whom.

Hey, Bob. I just picked up R107744. How close can you get me for a date on this one? Thanks.

Congrats on your 60 pyavka! It's a great little pistol. I got mine last year and these experts here were real helpful dating mine too:

Have fun shooting yours. There's a link in that thread to a S&W ad that two-bit shared with me. Really cool and think you might like it too.
