I own a 39-2 SN 109000 (no A prefix), yet I've owned 2, 39s (no dash) 1xx that were 39s in all correct features, while other 39-2s have also been recorded in the A109xxx range too. Somewhere around SN 109xxx, started the A-prefix. The original production / sales of the automatic series took off slowly. This includes the pre-39s, 39s, 41s, 46s, and all that followed. The Automatic Serial number range started in 1954 with SN 1001. You can have a lower SN that shipped much later than one with a higher number. Can you give me a DOB for S & W model 46 serial #27438 Thanks for any help My best quesstimate, without the book, I'd say somewhere around 1960 give or take a lie.,er, I mean, YEAR or two.Īll kidding aside, somewhere in there 1959-1960 is my best guess but with S&W you never know. There are many actual experts on here and they probably have access to more complete information. I am by no means any sort of an expert on S&W, just an enthusiastic aficionado. It would be interesting to see how close my wild a** guess is. I guess you may have to call S&W to find out for sure. By extrapolation, (assuming their monthly production remained at a steady pace) I would say it is late 1957, but I could be way off. Can you give me a DOB for S & W model 46 serial #27438 Thanks for any help If I'm reading it correctly, it only gives a vague range for auto pistols prior to 1970.
