- First digit is the year of manufacture: 8 for 2008, 7 for 2007 etc. The last 3 digits indicate the number of the days in the year. So if it's 8244, then the gun was made on 31 August 2008. If you do not have the original gun case, call Smith and give them the serial, they'll be able to tell you.

- Smith & Wesson date of manufacture by serial number? I purchased my SWMP40 in April, on the case it came in the 'born-on' date actually appears on the box label next to the serial number in the form yjjj where y is a single digit representation of the year, e.g. 6 = 2006, 7 = 2007, etc. And jjj is a three digit day-of-year date.

Senior Member Location: Virginia | S&W Dates of Manufacture I have some S&Ws that I cannot seem to narrow the date of manufacture down any farther and don't want to send off for a letter for each, either. I figure we have enough experts around here that may have better resources available to them than just the internet and an old S&W book to help, and was hoping some of you may be more successful than I. If this goes well then I may post in some other forums for help with a few others. Thanks! -RHM S&W 1903 Hand Ejector 2nd Model .32 Long #212X 1903-04? S&W 1899 Military & Police .38 Colt #198XX 1899-1902? S&W Model 19-3 #322XX 1967-1976? S&W Model 24 3' Lew Horton AEL07XX 1984? S&W Model 28-2 #N1510XX 1972-1974? S&W Model 29-2 #N3057XX 1975-1977? S&W Model 29-2 #N3207XX 1975-1977? S&W 34-1 M826XX 1973-1977? I also have what appears to be a S&W 1860 #1 3rd Issue, but has no markings aside from a small '19' on the front of the cylinder, and stippling on the top of the barrel where the markings would normally be. The nickel finish is excellent, as are the grips. |
