This is a many beer job for sure

Anyone on here have a copy of "Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson"? Kind of curious what year mine is from. SN on the heel is 417J41 but there's a different number on the crane (59227 with either G5 or 65 underneath it . The one scratch on the gun goes right through the G or 6. Oh and its a Model 38, no dash ... so I wonder if its had the crane replaced?)
Sent you a PM, Z.
Thanks, responded.Quote:

The crane number is an assembly number, nothing more. The no dash ran from ‘57 ( when Smith started numbering guns) until 1988 when the -1 came out. The barrel pin was eliminated in 1982.
The “J” letter prefix on the serial number started in 1969. If BG has better info I defer to him.
Apparently the J in the middle of the number (1J1 to 999J99) is 1971-72.Quote:
