I've been drooling (figuratively ) over a 'Dirty Harry' Smith & Wesson 6 1/2' model 29-2 w/ PB, TT, TH, & RC serial numbered N63xxx at a nearby shop, and am curious re its date of manufacture. All sorts of references -- oldguns.net being my favorite -- for dates on all sorts of firearms, but I cannot seem to find any site/source for this Smith & Wesson firearms!
Might you direct me to a source -- other than sending $75.00 to S&W -- where I might look up/ascertain its age? (Or, better yet if you know, and will provide info to me!)
Thanks much!!!

Smith And Wesson Serial Number Lookup N Frame
1969 through 1972 - Serial # N1 through N100,000. According to 'Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson' by Jim Supica. Being human is not for sissies., 04:51 PM #4. Location: Richardson, TX. The number you listed for the 10-5 is the assembly number, which is arbitrary and basically meaningless. The serial number of a Model 10 is found on the bottom of the grip frame. It will be a 6-digit number preceded by a 'C' or a 'D'. The Model 19 is 1976 production.
