I have a used Model 60.  The dash number is strange. It looks like a lower case "b" and with larger stamping than the 60- part. Or maybe a 60 -1 with a o overlaping the 1? and upside down 9?

Here is what i know about the revolver. They guy i bought it from said he bought it used prior to 1993. its stainless & .38Spec. There is no visable pin through the frame holding the brl. the cylinder crane(?) is marked 93926. the underside of the Brl has an S stamped on it. the cylinder has a V stamp on it. Grip frame is round butt. The serial number starts with ANA. Grips are checkered with SW medallions. front sight is stainless, thin & serrated.

Based on that serial number prefix and pre 1993 manufacture can anyone tell me what the dash number should be? it looks like it might be a incomplete 6 but that would be a ladysmith, right? there are no ladysmith marking on it.

any help would be appreciated.

ETA; also need correct yoke screw part number (brownells/midway) for this revolver.

Model 60-8's began in 1990. Models 60-9's began in 1996. Pinned bbls were deleted in 1982, under the 60-1 models.

Do you have the box & product code by chance?

ANA serial is circa 1986.  It's probably a 60-1, but the models were transitioning in that time frame.  60-2 was a short run for NYPD in 1987 and the 60-3 started in 1988.  

BUT, Smith can do weird stuff, especially with transitioning.   Photos definitely would help

Is this 60-1 description incorrect?
60-1 (1972) 3 in square butt limited production


Mine is a 2" round butt. wouldnt that rule out 60-1?

For the Yoke screw, you might want to call Smith and Wesson. For something that small, they usually will just send it free of charge.

No.  60-1 could come both round and square butt and two or three inch barrels.
