S&W Model 41 Date of Mfg
A-37
Member Posts: 473 ✭✭✭
My letter from Roy Jinks gives a shipping date of Aug '58 for my Model 41 #146xx. Mr. Jinks added that 679 were produced by the end of 1957 and by the end of 1958, a total of 9,875 were produced. The first production Model 41 was completed on 9-13-57. Some members of this forum asked me to pass on this info to help date their Model 41s.
BTW, a historical certificate (with an impressed S&W seal) is available from Mr. Jinks for $30.
