the model 48-4 was produced from 1977 until the end of production which was 1986.
Smith and Wesson is the make.
With the serial number that you have provided,your Smith and Wesson model 28-2 Highway Patrolman was made in the year 1973.
@1970
You will need to call S&W to find out.
Smith and Wesson did not make a model C but did use the letter C as a prefix to a serial number for the models 10,11,12,45,and Aircrewmen.The serial number C353425 indicates that your S&W was made from 1954-1956 before Smith and Wesson started marking there revolvers with the model number on the cranes of there revolvers in 1957.
You will need to check with Smith & Wesson. We cannot tell from a serial number alone, and several models were made in caliber 32 Long. Serial numbers are not unique to one gun, they are unique within a make and model.
@1987. Call S&W and they will tell you when it left the factory.
S&W did not make a firearm with that name.
No way to answer without a detailed description of all markings and features.
No
1973 is what the sn dates to. It could have been made before that.
