I have the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, if you have the serial, I can narrow down the year range...

Great. s/n is 253012.

There is an array of patent dates on barrel in tiny fonts: March of (18)94, etc. But its making date is not stamped anywhere.

Wow. Many variations, many changes. 3 or 4 pages in book on this model. I wonder if last patent date is indicative of last change???

(I can copy/email you scans of the pages).
