I have an older Smith and Wesson book that says serial # that are three letters followed by four numbers started in 1980 with aaa 0000 , my book ends in 2000 with prefixs cdw, cdy, cea, ceb, cef, all produced in 2000, so your model 60 was made after 2000. Sorry i could'NT get you closer ,good luck on your search.
Impossible to answer without more information, such as caliber and type of action.
Hello, The serial numbers are issued, 1 - whatever, for each model made. That number could been used several times within the last 150 years. You will need to post a picture or look on www.armchairgunshow.com to determine which model you have. Terry
Usually stamped on the frame. Swing out the cylinder, and it's below where the barrel meets the frame. Usually starts with a"K", or "1K",etc. On older S&W revolvers, it was stamped on the butt of the gun.
this is not an answer. i have found some more information about this gun though. it is a model 10. chambered for .38 smith & Wesson. i have been told that it is a "lend-lease gun", but the serial number does not begin with "v". there are several small stamps in the metal, which i have been told is something that the british did with stuff that came from the us. the only stamp that makes sense to me is is on the left of the frame, just below where it says 38/380. in very small letters it says "not English made". it also says "property of united states" on the top of the frame.
That is not the serial number. It is the Patent Number. The serial number is found below this number. The Model 37 I have has this patent number on it and the serial number is 24071. I would also like to know the manufacture date of this rifle.
Check the butt.
No serial number provided. Serial # 426742

No such serial number in Smith and Wesson data.
You can not tell the model number with just the serial number.
1980
1974
You will have to provide the serial number and a detailed description of the weapon.
