it tells you that the serial numbers beginning with numbers 125K000 to 311K273 were the 19 guns and the serial number begining with letters ADT3000 to BDCxxxx were most likely 84-88. The Model 19-5 Combat Magnum was produced from 1982 to 1988. Also be sure to explain that the Three-Letter Prefix Series which began in 1980 at AAA000. So you need to find out about your rather unusual Three-Letter Prefix Series numbers and the best way to do that is to sign up on the Smith and Wesson forum and ask the question there, explaining to them that your serial number consists of the letters BBB0 ('0' most likely being zero) and that you need to know what year 'BBBO' indicates. But there was something called the Three-Letter Prefix Series which began in 1980 at AAA000.ġ982 was the beginning of the dash 5 modifications which eliminated recessed cylinders and pinned barrels and I don't know how many years the 19-5's were manufactured except that the numerical serial numbers only indicate 19. I've been told there is a smith wesson book that would help me date it but I'm not a big enough collector to buy the book.īBB0xxx? That makes things a little difficult. Anyway the serial number on the grip is: BBB0xxx. I'm hoping it is a 1982 since that's my birth year. From what I found online revolvers stamped dash five could be made as early as 1982.
