| I am trying to get a approximate date on a S&W. Serial number S 918XXX 38 S&W Special Ctg on barrel. Barrel is pinned. Any help appreciated, it belonged to a friends father who recently passed away and I am cleaning it up for her. |

If you have a picture of it, that would help even more. An N-frame with that serial number comes back to 1959-1960. |

While possible, I'd say it's highly unlikely to be a 38-44 Heavy Duty or Outdoorsman which AFAIK were the only two .38 specials ever built on the N frame. Also, I believe they were marked differently for the 38-44 cartridge? Most likely, it's just a Military and Police .38. AKA Victory Model, Model 10. Possibly the most common revolver ever.... |
