Wiregrassguy. Post pictures here including the serial number on the butt of the gun and someone will look up the shipping date. All we really need is the triple alpha serial prefix.

In one known example a gun with serial S136431 was not shipped until June of 1958. It's possible that a large block of serial numbers that appear to be from 1954-55 were not actually used until 1957-58. It at least one case a gun has a 5-screw serial and was built as a 4-screw gun.

A model 19 .357 Magnum is built on a slightly larger K frame with adjustable sights and could have a 2 1/2". 3", 4", (5" rare), or 6" barrel with shrouded ejector housing but the vast majority were 4". They were introduced in 1955 and in 1957 S&W started using the Model designation Model 19.
Serial Numbers were recorded at the time the order was sent out. We know that some guns sat in the safe for a considerable period of time before being shipped to a customer.

After that the serial number would have began with an "N" until 1983. In 1980 S&W began using serial numbers that began with 3 letters. The L frames were the first using the 3 letter prefix. The model 29 began using a 3 letter prefix in 1983 during production of the 29-3. It can't be a no dash model 29 and have a 3 letter prefix serial number.
