The only.38 spl Smith and Wessons in that serial number range were produced in 1903 and 1904 as the Smith and Wesson.38spl Hand Ejector M&P. They look like Model 10's, and are very similar, but predate the Model 10 by over 50 years. Jun 16, 2009 Mr.Borland is correct on the serial number time frame, so I have to assume you have a 1954-1956 gun. The Second Model.32 Hand Ejector (No Change) was made from 1903 to 1904, and the serial number range extends from 1 to 19,425. Second Model.32 Hand Ejector - Model 1903 - First Change Smith & Wesson was in a time of nearly continuous innovation, and made incremental changes to improve the Second Model.32 Hand Ejector for nearly two decades. He had a Colt.25, a Mossberg single shot.22LR rifle, a S&W top break in.32 Short S&W and this Model 30 in.32 S&W Long. Both the Break top and this one looked brand new. So I called him up, we met, and I am the new owner of a S&W Model 30 I-frame.32 S&W Long (Model 1903) serial number 287XXX. Should have bough the Top Break too!

Smith & Wesson introduced the Model 686 in 1981. It is the stainless steel version of the Model 586, which featured a blued steel finish. They are available ported and unported with a choice of 6- or 7-round cylinders.[1]
The Model 686 is based on S&W's L (medium) revolver frame. During the 1980s, Smith & Wesson developed its L-Frame line of .357 Magnums: the Model 581, Model 586, Model 681 and Model 686. The Models 581 and 681 have fixed sights, whereas the 586 and 686 use adjustable sights.[2]
Variants of the 686[edit]
Smith And Wesson Manufacture Year
The 686 has been available with 64, 76, 102, 127, 152, and 211 mm (2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8.325 in) barrel lengths as standard models and other barrel lengths either by special order from S&W's Performance Center custom shop, or acquired from or built by after-market gunsmiths. The Performance Center made a limited number of Model 686s chambered for .38 Super cartridges for competitive shooters.[1]
The 686 features a 6-round cylinder. The 686P variant, marketed as the Model 686 Plus, has a 7-round cylinder. The 686PP variant, with PP designating PowerPort, has an integral compensator (also known as a muzzle brake).
The 686 has been made with pistol grips having a squared or rounded end (colloquially, 'square butt' or 'round butt'). The grips on the pistol can be changed, and multiple after-market options are available.

Recall[edit]
Smith Wesson Serial Number Search
In 1987, seven years after the release of the Model 686, there were reports of cylinder binding with some types of standard .357 Magnum ammunition for L-frame revolvers manufactured before August 1987. S&W put out a product warning and authorized a no-charge upgrade to make modifications to the revolver. All recalled and reworked guns were stamped with an M marking, signifying that they had been recalled and fixed; thus it is known as the M modification for all 686, 686-1, 586-1, and 586-2 revolvers.[7]
