Hello,
I am in France and look for a handgun.
I would like to buy a s&w in 2″5.
Can you help me to find and have this kind of handgun?
Thank you
Regards
Albert

Tam says from the serial number that it was made in 1981, same year I was born.
Thanks, Tam!

It’s a “-1″, which means it was made ’77 and ’82.
The barrel does not appear to be pinned, which would normally indicate a “-2″, but this is probably a “transitional gun”.

I’d say ’82, probably. It should have a serial number either on the butt or on the frame behind the crane. The number will look like either “125K1234″ or “AAC1234″. Can you put up the S/N with “X” for the last two or three digits? That will let me give you the exact year of production.

[...] Very nice looking 66-1. Peter asked me for information about finding it’s age. I think Tam is the resident Smith & Wesson expert, who could maybe point Peter in the right direction. [...]

NICE!

I hate that “have a new gun but can’t get to the range” feeling.
