S&W Question

What do the following letters / numbers......06XA2, LGGGR, BO, SF, SI, FS, CS and ZS....under "Features" on the label of a S&W revolver box mean?

I'm having a brain-fart and can't make heads or tails. [:(!]

    Can anyone tell me what is meant when someone describes a S&W revolver as having a "recessed" cylinder? BT

    Is there any particular reason why S&W stamp their Brand Logo on both the right side of the frame or the left side under the thumb latch ? I've seen the same models stamped both ways so apparently models aren't the deciding factor. I don't think I've ever heard or read an explanation as to why this is......just curious.

    I picked this up today. Trying to figure out what model it is and when it was made. The serial number is D432XXX. The barrel is 4" long. The barrel is also pinned. The cylinder does not look like it's been recessed. Any help would be welcome. Thanks.


    BTW it's a .38 special.

    I also posted this in the GD forum.

    Was at the local hardware store this past weekend and happened to come across a beautiful looking like-new S&W .44 Mag. The tag said it was a "Deer Hunter". Can't remember the model(if it even said), but it had a 8" bbl. and light wood grips. Could anybody give me any information on this? I may get a chance to go back tomorrow and look, but wanted to see if I could find any info on it first, like reviews, model, value, etc. Normally not looking to spend that much on something like that, but I currently have no S&W guns, have been wanting a .44 Mag, and this one really caught my eye.

    Actually 2 questions. Where is a site that will tell me what the varation number for any given model means? Also, does the same varation number mean the same thing for all models. For example,629 is P&R, 629-1 is not. Would, say a 686 be P&R and 686-1 not be?
