I have an old S&W 44 special that I was hoping someone could tell me the year it was made. The serial number is 19831
It's in rough shape and has play in the cylinder when it locks up but I am thinking about sending it to a gunsmith and just getting it in shape to safely fire.

After some looking I figured out it's a 2nd model hand ejector but I still don't know how to tell the date it was made.

There are lots of competent gunsmiths, who are not necessarily highly payed gunmakers, who can put that gun back in proper order.
