The date of manufacture for a Smith & Wesson Safety Hammerless revolver can typically be determined by its serial number, as S&W used a specific numbering system that correlates with production years. The Safety Hammerless models were produced primarily from the late 19th century into the early 20th century. For precise dating, it's best to consult a reference guide or database specifically for Smith & Wesson firearms, as the exact year can vary significantly based on the model and serial number.

First question: is this a hammer or a hammerless shotgun? If a hammer gun it looks like potential year of manufacture was 1895. If hammerless, around 1901. If the firearm is in decent shape, you have something there. I have a hammerless twelve bore s x s field grade with the serial number 307204, it looks like mine was manufactured in 1906. You may google "lc smith 12 gauge year of manufacture" and find more information. Best of luck.
The prefix letter shows the year of manufacture. 1956 is letter S
