.22 rimfire model 43, 3 1/5 inch barrel, # M7062* my book is remarkably lacking in information on this one.
View attachment 868419 View attachment 868421 Model 19-2This 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...
Thanks, that is a High School gun for me.Probably shipped around 1972.
R30001-R99999 shipped between 1970-72
Thank youYou can do the math, but Model 43 shipping is listed as M60001-M99999 were shipped from 1973-1977. Based on that your gun was probably shipped in 1974
Hi All and thanks in advance for help identifying this 32 long S&W, and maybe price range. The pics should show everything, but:
32 LONG CTG stamped on barrel
4" barrel
6 shot, extractor has guide pins
SN is 294118 on butt, 294119 on cylinder, B 294118 under barrel
Pat. dates end in Sept 14 08, Dec. 29 14
I don't see a logo anywhere, just Smith & Wesson on the left side of the barrel.
I'm guessing 32 HAND EJECTOR THIRD MODEL but that is a very uninformed guess. Barrel is quite cruddy so will be some cleaning before I even think of firing it, rest of the pistol seems to be in great shape.
Appreciate any help.
A) 38 spl
B) 4"
C) round
D) 6
E) fixed
F) 170715 no letters anywhere
G) I cannot find anything some pitting in that area
same serial number on the bottom of the barrel hard to get a good pic of that area.

Barrel length is definitely 3.75". 36520 is sn on butt.Also check barrel length from tip of barrel to cylinder face. No mention in the book of a 3.75" Barrel. Only 4,5,6 and 6.5" were produced according to the records but custom lengths may have been produced.

Prior to 1958, your Model 27 was known as the "Registered Magnum". If you post the Serial Number, found on the butt, it can be dated more closely.Hi all...love this site an all the info I've been getting in my love/ infatuation for smith & wesson revolvers
I recently was given a gorgeous 357 magnum 27-2... an just out of pure curiosity I'd like to date it...if someone would be so kind as to help me that would be so greatly appreciated...thank you in advance
Forgot to add it's a 6 shooter
That's all kinda puuurdy
I don't think that's what "Registered Magnum" means.I was told that the gun is older an is an unregistered ,since at the time of the original purchase , there was no weapon registration required? Does that sound about rite?
