[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 809252, member: 423"] To tell the exact age of a revolver (or any gun for that matter) you'd have to check the serial number for date of manufacture. However, depending on model and features, some S&W experts may well be able to narrow it down to a specific decade or even a few years. The "pinned and recessed" is best explained with pictures. The pinned refers to the barrel being pinned, and you can see the pin right on the frame, between the barrel and the cylinder, about a quarter inch below the top of the frame. The recessed refers to the face of the cylinder. If it is recessed, the bottom of the cartridge will be nearly flush with the outside edge of the cylinder, and you will barely be able to tell if it is loaded or not. I'll see if I can dig up some pictures showing it. daggone it GED, you beat me to it!! [/QUOTE]
