 I found this Like new gun at a local gun show a week ago. I don't think it had ever been fired. These old smiths are a wook of art. I was wondering if one of you guys could tell me when it was manufactured S# K229XXX Many Thanks Mark |

Im at work and dont have my book with me, but if it doesnt have a model # stamped inside, then its pre-1957 atleast.
Also, if you dont have it, i HIGHLY recommend the "Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, 3rd Edition", available at fine bookstores everywhere.

1954. Great pickup.
Mine are K197xxx, manufactured the year before, K89xxx, manufactured in 1950.
Many happy memories surround my K22s.
