This is probably a question asked a thousand times here, but is there an on line site or website that can give me the year a recently aquired Smith model 28 was mfg? It's a model 28-2. Bought with original box and unfired.Can this be checked on line by using the serial number?
Thanks.

    Ron,
    The model 28 (numbered model) was manf. between 1957 and 1986 with 3 egineering changes, meaning yours is the second change, hence the 28-2. I just bought a 28-2 that was built in 1975, I can't tell you anymore about your 28 without serial #. Hope this helps.
    W.D.

    I would call S&W's and ask, that's what I did for all my Smiths.

    Post the ser# here. Several of us have a book the Standard Catalog of S&W,in there they list manufacture dates for ser#'s. If you do not want to list the whole number just x out the last 2 or 3 numbers(123xxx) it will have an N or S prefix before the number also.
