The wheel gun in question is a Smith & Wesson Model 64-3. Based on the serial number, it seems to have been produced in 1981. At first glance, there are few signs it endured a fire at all. Removing the side plate revealed some significant scorch marks that I would assume is burnt oil. The Smith & Wesson Model 64-3 were made between 1970 and 1988. This one is serial number AFL7799, making it's date of manufacture sometime after 1980. This Model 64 is all original and shows some use. I have a friend's Model 64, not blued, with wooden handle with a 4' barrel and am wondering if it's possible to date it based on Serial number. The SN starts with D5414. It also has another number (57363) engraved in the same area where the model number is, as well as some other mark that I can't make out (doesn't look like letters or numbers). Introduced in 1978, the Smith & Wesson Model 629 is a stainless steel version of the Model 29. The 629 model designation derives from Smith & Wesson's practice of denoting a stainless steel version of one of their already existing designs by placing a 6 in front of the model number of the original weapon. The 629 Classic variant features a full.

Description[edit]

The Model 64 is a six-shot double-action revolver with fixed sights chambered in .38 Special. It was the second all stainless steel revolver made by Smith & Wesson, the first being the Smith & Wesson Model 60.[1] It was widely used by several U.S. police, sheriff and state agencies and was a popular choice in high humidity states because the stainless model 64 was more corrosion and rust resistant than the blued Model 10.[2]

Originally offered in two variants, a 4' taper barrelled square butt or a 2' round butt, the Model 64 has since been offered in numerous configurations.[2] The 4' heavy barelled version, introduced in 1974, became a favorite with many police agencies.[1] Five variants were made for NYPD and these revolvers are marked 'NY1' as opposed to the more common 'NYCPD' marking for department issued guns as these were intended to be purchased by individual officers.[3] It was the only stainless steel revolver authorized for use by NYPD as well as the last revolver approved for use being replaced by 9mm semiautomatic pistols in 1993.[3]

Noted for its accuracy, dependability and manageable recoil, the Model 64 is still in use for security, inmate transportation (Corrections), target shooting, formal target competition and personal defense.[4]
