If there is a "K" in front the numbers you are correct, 1954.a) .22 LR
b) 4"
c) square
d) 6
e) adjustable
f) 230xxx
g) No model number under the crane. This is a 5-screw K-frame, pre-18 K22 Combat Masterpiece.
Just bought this. Based on some initial research, I believe it is a 1954 model. Sure would like someone to confirm or let me know if I'm wrong on that.
Looks like 1978.Could I get a born on date please ,I just got a Smith and Wesson Model 19-4 4" serial number 35K8000 ,thank you
If there is a "K" in front the numbers you are correct, 1954.
The Heavy Duty left S&W in 1950Checking on two old ones.
S&W M1917, commercial, V269175
and
S&W Heavy Duty, (pre model 20), S78132
Thank you

I just went to my LGS and picked up a Smith & Wesson Model 67 4" no dash, I need a manufacture date for S/N 13K9000, thank you.[/QUO
Should be early part of 1977. 67-1 Was introduced in 1977 so yours was obviously in the latter run of the no dash models. 10k0001-24k9999 produced in 1977
This going to be a thread for those who are looking for a date of manufacture for their S&W revolvers.
We'd need to know :
a) caliber
b) bbl length (from cylinder to muzzle)
c) grips shape (round or square)
d) number of shots/cylinder bores
e) type of sights.
f) serial number, and if there is a letter in front of or anywhere near the s/n on the bottom of the grip
g) Model number if it is under the crane.
That number, if it is the s/n, should come from the butt of the grip (or under the barrel or face of the cylinder).
A picture or two is worth A LOT of words in this case...

Actually that revolver was shipped in 1977. The M64-2 was only produced in 1977 even if it wasn't made for the California DOC. The serial number on the side of the revolver is the correct serial # for your revolver. It supersedes the one on the butt from what I'm told. The CDC prefix is for California Dept. of Corrections.I have a S&W 38 spl model 64-2 I was told it was a round butt it has different grips now. it was a 2" barrel but was changed out to a 4" by S&W I have paper work for that and still have 2" barrel the serial No. Is AYD1690 fixed sights 6 shot I am uploading some pics can you tell me what year it was manufactured and anything else you know about this gun.

Like I said above, the Model 64-2 was only shipped in 1977. You actually got lucky because in 1977 they also produced the M64-3 without a pinned barrel. Nice revolver.
1983Could I please have a manufacture date for S/N AAW4000 Model 19-5 4" , thank you.

That is not always true, the serial numbers for guns from a special run are not in the list of factory revolvers.I'm guessing the serial number on the Butt of the Gun is BDR and not BOR prefix? If so, your gun was shipped in 1989.
I can find no reference for the prefix of BOR. I don't think Smith ever used O in a prefix as it would be easy to mix up with zero
