Thank you once again, is there a book I can buy that tells when S&W firearms were made?

I don't understand. What difference does it make? I can understand why the revision number is important, but why the DOM?

I probably should clarify, I would like to buy a book that shows the year of manufacture as well as what the different dash marks mean. Can you recommend a good book on Smiths?

Chris,

click on www.bookfinder.com

for author, enter "Jim Supica & Richard Nahas"

for title, enter "Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson"

You will find copies used for about $25 up to new for about twice that.

Check to make sure the book you order is the '3rd edition', it is the latest one out.

Best, Jim

Thanks Jim, I just ordered a copy of the book you recommended, I found a new copy on half.com and I should have it within the week.
