Can't tell the caliber from just the serial number.
Call S&W and they will tell you when it left the factory.
You must call S&W
The Colt match target .22 with serial number 220044-S was made in 1966.
No way to tell any of the information you want with only a serial number. You will have to call S&W
Need to know caliber, condition, and what markings are on the top of the barrel rib. sales@countrygunsmith.net
S&w
email me exactly what information you are looking for. your question(s) are fragmented and not understandable. list pistol maker, pistol model, caliber and serial number....... and maybe you will get an answer.............................check what is says along the side of your barrel.....................
Call S&W and they will tell you when it left the factory. It could have been made a week to a year before.
Serial numbers do not mean a lot- we need make and model. Also- not all revolvers with "38 S&W" on the barrel ARE Smith & Wessons- that is a caliber. And the finish is nickel, not chrome.
Need more info in order to help. From your question it is S/N 11848 but the barrel markings are needed to determine what model you have.
You will need to call S&W or provide a DETAILED description of ALL markings. Need caliber, barrel length and number of screws.
You can request a manual for free at the S&W website.
