I just inherited this gun when my uncle passed away. I am having a hard time actually finding out how old it is and how much it is worth. It is a S.&W.357 magnum mod 66-2. It has a 4 inch barrel. Stainless steel, with adjustable sights. It has 3 screws on the right side and1 in the handle, it doesnt have one in front of the trigger. It is a N frame. On the right side of the handle it has a N in a triangle, and has a Z in a circle, Z coming first, left to right. Its serial # is SCE4 mod 66-2 ACV9474. It has the numbers 07566 in between the Z and the N on the handle. It also has wooden handles.
on left side of grib it has letter S with numbers 14424 under it.

Traded two plastic 380s and some cash for this sweet piece in excellent condition. It is super clean. Check out the third photo.

Lately I have been getting some of my best finds at the local gun shops rather than online.







This one joined the herd in January. Dash 6 Carry Comp.

66-4 with Akers lined holster. The original wood grips look great, but for carry, the Pachs are where it's at.

66-1 purchased new by my Dad in the late 70s/early 80s. Still has all the original modifications done by him when he bought it- bobbed hammer, smooth trigger, Millets and Pachs. I found the early HKS #10M speedloader and old-school DeSantis holster with ammo loops at a gun show. I think they go well with the old 66.

I totally missed your post. This was an old thread where people were posting pictures of their M66's.

The Serial Number is ' ACV9474.' Other than the '66-2', the other numbers usually don't meant much.

I don't have my copy of the S&W book where the ship dates are listed but jusy guessing I'd say late 1982-early 1983.

It's not an N-frame. You a 4" 66-2 which is a K-frame.

As for value, they're all over the place right now. Do you have the original box and paperwork?
