An excellent thread, "Identity and Date of Manufacture of S&W Revolvers" was started on 6-21-08 by Moderator Emeritus, Brian Williams. This has been an invaluable source of info for the above stated & titled thread.
Most recently, Radagast has been providing superb information on this subject.
His last entry #6775 was on 4-8-17. He was last seen on THR 4-9-17.
Requests continue to flow in, but no info has been forthcoming.
One can surmise the possibilities.
We wish him and his family well.
Hopefully someone on THR, with the necessary resources will "step up to the plate", and furnish requests for info.
I recently purchased a S&W Combat Masterpiece (pre- Model 15) with a heavy (not full lug) barrel.
It is a re-blued .38 Special, 5 screw, 6 shot, with checkered walnut grips. Serial # K 117XXX on the bottom of the butt.
Any info is appreciated, especially date of manufacture.
Thanks.
