You can see there were many changes during those years.īy the serial number listing I have, the CAH numbers were probably made before 1996, and after 1994, probably closer to 96. 38 Special was discontinued in 1999 and the. The internal lock was introduced in 2001. Dash 14 through Dash 18 occurred up through 2005. Dash changes up through Dash 13 were introduced in 1996. Dash 9 began in 1996 with changes that included shipping in a blue plastic box. Does this match the description of your Model 60? Dash 5 through Dash 8 models were also introduced in 1990, with several changes. The 60-4 (1990) is described as a limited production of a target model with a full underlug and a new yoke retention system. Give us a bit more info, please, and maybe even a picture?įN is correct.

If there is no model number there, get the correct serial number off the grip frame (on the bottom of the frame!). If there is a model number stamped on the frame, the serial number should also be stamped there, probably above the model number. With that information confirmed, we can find out a bit more. Please confirm that serial number and report the Model number (and the dash number) that should be stamped on the frame behind the yoke. Is the barrel pinned? Round butt? If it has the original grips, they should be wood, checkered, and with a diamond around the grip screw escutcheons. IF the "839XX" is part of the serial number (following the "R" and stamped on the grip frame butt), the revolver would have been made in 1970 to 1973. These guns began production in 1969 with the "R" serial numbers. If this is a Model 60 SS J Frame revolver, the serial number should begin with an "R". The serial number is displayed on the bottom of the grip frame. It may just be Model 60, or Model 60-something (-1, -2, etc). Is this a stainless steel Model 60? IF so, the model number should be stamped on the frame underneath the yoke in front of the cylinder and below the barrel. That serial number needs some explanation.
