![]() With that serial number, the gun probably shipped in 1954.The proper grips for that era are called diamond magnas. It's almost impossible to figure out what happened during the depression.Hi all, doing a little research on a pistol which my wife's uncle is handing down to our son.Its a S&W, 6 shot 22 LR revolver, the right side of the barrel reads '22 LONG RIFLE CTG.' All the serial numbers on the underside of the barrel, bottom of hand grip, and backside of the cylinder all match.The SN is: K210537.Can anyone give a estimation on the date of manufacture?Obviously the grips are not original, would like to get some original grips if anyone knows where I might get some at.See attached photos.Thanks in advance for your assistance.Randy. So support the SWHF by sending what you can today!!! Hello I'm looking at a k-22 ser# 99945 on the frame and swing arm but the # on the cyl does not match. Unfortunately, that is thousands of investment dollars away. It sounds confusing, but it really isn't if you think about it.The Smith & Wesson Historical Foundation and its effort to digitize the company records may afford future collectors the ability to search a given serial number and find all relevant company records and correspondence pertaining to that gun. Only the company historian can give you that by looking up the serial number in the shipping ledgers.We have seen many cases where a lower serial number gun has a shipping date far later than a gun with a higher serial number.It is possible that somewhere there are records, like the day books, that show what serial numbered guns were built on any given day and hence supply the date of manufacture, but the historian uses the shipping records and thus those are the shipping date.I hope that this helps. The serial numbers were recorded as they left the factory for inventory control purposes but not as a method of dating the guns manufacture.S&W was in the business to make and sell guns in the present and did not think about how crazy collectors would get at some future time about serial numbers and their relationship to dates.The books can give you a range of serial numbers used for a particular model and the basic years that these guns were manufactured, however, looking at a serial number chart does not give you the actual manufacture or shipping date. The clerk did not pay attention to serial number order as these were pieces of inventory and he only needed a correct number of the correct model to fill the order. As these runs were done, the frames were each given a serial number. The factory manufactured frames in 'runs'. Once the invoice is located, then hopefully it will containinformation on how the gun was configured, if it was special.Sometimes the invoices have useful information, sometimes not.Sometimes target revolvers are identified as such, sometimes not.The price of the revolver is on the invoice, of course, and from thatthe historian can tell if the gun had adjustable, or fixed sights.Note that nowhere in any of this research trail is the date ofmanufacture.Regards, Mike Priwer. Knowingthe shipping date, and the destination, the historian goes throughthose entries ( all together ), and tries to locate the invoice by usingthe destination information ( name of person/business receiving thegun). Res.Either there is a shipping date, or therest of the line is blank, meaning that the serial number is open onthe shipping ledger.Assuming there is a shipping date, that now becomes the key intothe invoice ledgers, which are books ordered by shipping date. 2014: Download The poems and prose sketches of James Whitcomb Riley.2014: Download Evangeline, a tale of Acadie book.2014: Download Erkenntnistheoretische Grundzüge der Naturwissenschaften und ihre Beziehungen zum Geistesleben.2014: Download moyea youtube to 3gp converter software.2014: Download genbox family history download.2014: Download Hickory, Dickory, Dock ELT Edition. ![]() 2014: Download Voices through many years.2014: Download Hermeneutics and the Study of History: Selected Works book.2014: Download The Insanity Defense book.2014: Download The Science Of Being Well book.2014: Download Special Forces, Strategy and the War on Terror book.2014: Download Catalogue de la Collection de monnaies de feu Christian Jürgensen Thomsen.2014: Download Nobody Likes Me, Everybody Hates Me : The Top 25 Friendship Problems and How to Solve Them book. ![]()
