When was it made?

Thanks!

    Checked my 3rd edition S&W standard catalog and it doesn't decode that SN.

    What type of gun is it and are you sure that is the correct number?

    S&W records are somewhat inexact for those serial numbers with a 3 alpha prefix.

    Based upon what little data we have in SCSW for that period, my opinion is that your gun was made in or before September 2003, or any time thereafter.

    It's a 642, and the serial number is correct. See pictures.

    Somewhere between 1997-2001. By what I see as a date code doesn't make sense to me. If it has all of the factory paperwork, there should be a fired case with a date on it inside.

    Mr Nunn according to my copy of "The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson 4th edition" page 491 your 642 was made the 9th day of January 2000. I don't know how accurate this is but I do know that if you call S&W customer service 800-331-0852 with the serial number they will give you an exact date.
