   other than that, ive heard its hard to date a s+w exactly due to them using a strange numbering system. dont know for sure if its true or not.

   Huntingguy, that sounds good. Do you have the number you called?
   I have mine and my uncles mod 36. I know when I bought mine and I have a vague idea of when my uncle bought his. He's dead now so I can't ask.
   How did you find the number if you don't still have it?
   If all else fails I will join and seek the info on the S&W site above.

   I think I just called S&W customer service.
   http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/w..ectionId=10504
   By Telephone:
   1-800-331-0852 (USA)
   Mon-Fri 8:00AM-8:00PM Eastern Time
   The number is from the link above. I am pretty sure that is the one I called. I had an early J frame I wanted to convert to a 32HR so I called.. It is possible I got in contact with the custom shop.. (No they wouldn't convert it..)

   Thanks huntinguy, I'll call them monday.
   Why don't you reline the barrel and make a new cylinder???
   My dad had a S&W .32 kit gun with a 4' barrel. The kit gun is a J frame. You may be able to find a kit gun with a snub barrel or you could snub it yourself.
   I ended up with dads guns and gave the kit gun to my sister.

   It is the same gun as you mentioned but with a three inch barrel. The gun is perfect, not even a wear mark. Maybe it has 100 rounds through it.
   My daughter (13) shot it a few times then it went back to its owner. I thought it was going to stay with me, that is when I called Smith. I just wanted a little more power out of it.
   I really like the 32. great kids gun, makes bigger holes than a 22. impresses the kids more.

1. May 1, 2006 - Can anyone point me to a website or other source that would allow me to determine the year of manufacture of a.32 S&W Regulation Police.
2. Smith wesson serial numbers database. Blue Book of Gun Values - SMITH & WESSON. This led to the imperial government cancelling the order for significant.
3. Locate either 'Smith & Wesson, Springfield, Massachusetts' or 'Smith & Wesson; Houlton, ME' stamped on the barrel. This identification proves that the handgun is an authentic Smith & Wesson pistol. Locate the serial number on the left side of the pistol's frame.

How to Identify/Date a S&W. Discussion in 'Firearms' started by Pilgrim, Jun 5, 2009. This is where to look for the model number (not used until around 1957). Sometimes the serial number is here, especially in later models. Serial# is N82XXX. I called Smith when I first bought it used. They said it was made in 1981.
