Serial is N82XXX. I called Smith when I first bought it used. They said it was made in. Could it be that they screwed up when looking up the date? Would this mean that the gun is actually older as in ?

Thanks LenS. Oct 30, Messages:. North of Boston. It has never been fired since I have owned it. It smith significant holster and carry wear but is in good shape. The problem is I have NO idea what I have. The serial numbers have no letters, it has a lanyard strap in the grip butt and Trade Mark is on the right side. Not looking for value as it is sentimental. FPrice is going to help explain. This is a quandry with what we found. The quandary:.

I have been pointed towards this video which was on American Rifleman.
