Models 15-3 and 19-2

[kkupec02]

Does anyone have production numbers for these models? Is there a reference that I can buy somewhere? Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no reliable source for the information you want. Only a search of S&W's manufacturing records would yield a decent estimate and that is not possible.

Looking for reference material

If I can't get production numbers, where can I find descriptions of each dash change and/or production years? I am new to collecting S&W's even though I had some in the 1970's. Will the STD Catelog of S&W give me these? I just bought the History of S&W that I am reading. Thanks.

Get the book - Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson 3rd Edition by Supica and Nahas. This large reference book contains lots of useful information about each model (including dash number differences) and approximate serial numbers by year for most models.

Hope this helps.
