Hello everyone. I just found the site and signed up a few minuts ago.
This is a great forum and it seems that you guys have all the answers. I was wondering if someone out there could give me the approximate production date of my S&W Model 17-3 .22 pistol. It has 6 " barrel with adjustable sights and the serial number is 6K48xxx.
Thank you very much. 1940 Ford Coupe.

Thanks for the welcome and for the reply to my question on the 17-3. I bought it from a gentleman who is in his late 70s. He stated that he had not fired it in over 15 years and that he thinks he had it for 30+ years. So that figures into your time frame. The good thing is that he kept it in like new condition. I'm still trying to find my way around the forum and when I figure out how to send pictures, I'll give it a try.
