can anyone narrow down a made date?

[SirBoomsalot]

The numbers below are best I can find online and from 62 to 69 is a very wide range. Is there a way to narrow it down without $50 to S&W?
thanks in advance for any help u can give.


Early J frame serial numbers
For models 36, 37, 38, 49, 50 and pre model number versions.

1950 = start at 1
1952 = 7369 - 21342
1953 = 28916
1955 = 55050 - 75000
1957 = 117770 - 125000
1962 = starts at 295000
1969 = ends at 786544

J serial Prefix serial numbers.
For models 36, 37, 38, 49, 50.

1969-1970 = J1 - J99999
1971-1972 = 1J1 - 999J99
1973-1974 = J100000 - J250000

Ummm.... spend $30 for a Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson?

What exactly were you looking for?

593 are the first three.....fishslayer, I thought the date range was out of a smith catalog? 'Ol shooter, thank you very much!

You can join the S&W forum. There's some really knowledgeable people over there. Not saying we don't have them within our ranks here
