[browndude]

Looking for manufacturing date for a ABK serial number on a model 19-5. It's a .357 mag revolver, 6 shot.
Anybody have data for that range?

As per The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson in 1982 they had AAD, AAF, AAK, ABK, ABL, ABU, ABW. They don't list any specific dates for this year so it's kind of hard to tell which month it may have been made in. If they started in January with AAD and ended in December with ABW, ABK sits right in the middle.

Hope this helps.
