I think I have the date pretty close on this one, but I wanted an excuse to share pics anyway and any extra info would be great.

All parts are matching, and the serial number is 359XX. The last patent date on the barrel rib appears to be Aug 4,'85
What caliber?
Sorry, .32S&W

Hi Eddie:
I just added the following to my armory:
Smith and Wesson model 60-4, J-Frame (5-shot) .38 Special, serial number CAN0648, round butt, 3" barrel, adjustable sights, target hammer and trigger. The accompanying factory plastic box label matches the above information and includes a "Special Order # ----" which I will share with you if you need it. The gun came with the original factory rubber grip and a pair of J-SQ rosewood grips.
I think the combination of 3" barrel, adjustable sights, and target hammer and trigger may mean I have a revolver that was not made in large quantities. If you can identify the date of manufacture and any other information will be appreciated.
Thanks for the service and Merry Christmas!
Pretty sure you have a .32 Safety hammerless 1st Model. Serial Number range 1-91417 produced from 1888-1902. I would guess yours around 1900?
Shipped in 1992
OK, here's one---
a. .38 Special
b. 1 7/8"
c. square butt
d. 5 shot
e. fixed sights
f. 47797X
g. MOD.60
Other information---Hammer and trigger are case hardened a sort of plum brown. Serial number from butt is repeated on reverse of the right grip panel and assembly number from yoke is repeated on grip frame under the left grip panel.
I have been searching around the internet for a while with no joy---all results are forum posts from 2013 or advertisements for ancient sales.
Ball park figure for birthday of this little feller would be nice. Any and all effort is appreciated.

Looking at a 32 HE in very nice shape. Serial number is in the mid 80,000 (old and memory sucks) it is a 32 S&W Long.
I don't think you will need the rest but here it is
Capacity 6 32 SW Long
4 maybe 4 1/4" barrel
Round butt
Fixed sights
No letters in the serial number
No model number in the crane
Blue
Added: Looking for a manufacture date.
32 hand ejector 2nd change serial numbers ran 51127 in 1906 to 95900 in 1909.
Haven't been around on the handgun bench or forums for a while. Been loading for rifle mostly the last 5 yrs or so.
Recently have been given S&W 357 Mag/w 6" barrel (686-2). I've only shot 38's out of it so far and I really liked shooting them. So I want to load some 38's for plinking. Attaining accuracy would be fun.
Should / can I just go with 357 Brass in case I want to make the switch to 357? I'm sure curiosity will get the best of me. I'll be loading on a Dillon 550B. Have loaded for 40 Cal and 9mm.
Here's what I have.
What I need. Suggestions on all are appreciated.
- Blue Dot, Tite group,Power pistol,Hi skor 700X.
- I have both Small pistol and small pistol MAGS primers.
- Can Magnum primers be used in the 38 loads if I keep away from max loads? Thinking smaller inventory
- Dies. Are Carbide dies worth the extra $ ? I use Redding dies for rifle and have been happy.
- Brass. Can I just use 357 brass?
- Bullets.. Thinking middle upper end of the road in weight. Want to be able to control this thing. Some may be shot at a indoor range. Steel isn't an option there.
A. .32sw
B. 2 3/4" to front of cylinder, 3 1/" to back;
C. Square butt;
D. 5 round capacity;
E. Fixed;
F. 31521 0n butt;
G. New departure safety hammerless 1st model.
I know it was made 1888-1902, but hoped to nail down year made. Thanks!
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...
a) 38 special
b) 4 inch barrel
c) square butt
d) 6 shot
e)fixed sights
f) BHT 2xxx
g) mod 10-10
1992
