What is the best resource for finding out about the year a revolver was made and general info-

I believe you can call S&W.

If you like S&Ws enough to call a group a collection the second link is a must have.  Probably can get close enough with the 1st Link and if all else fails join the S&W Forum and ask, generally someone will be along in a short time with the answer.

Post a picture and give the caliber and first few characters of the s/n and I'll look it up when I get a chance.

The last link to the Smith forum is a good one. I spend almost as much time there as on here. Smith serial numbers can tell a lot, there more of a birth date once you figure it out.

If it is an older Smith, list the serial # here and some of us can probably give you a date.
