Some Smith and Wesson revolvers have a duplicate serial number stamped inside the yoke, along with the gun's model number. These numbers are only visible with the gun open. Revolvers manufactured before 1957 have nothing stamped inside of the yoke.
Sometimes the serial number is here, especially in later models.

STUMPED and couldn't sleep. I have a S&W Revolver given to me in the 1990's. It has never been fired since I have owned it. It shows significant holster and carry wear but is in good shape.
Serial Number Idm
The problem is I have NO idea what I have. The serial numbers have no letters, it has a lanyard strap in the grip butt and Trade Mark is on the right side. Not looking for value as it is sentimental. Thanks for ANY advice or direction, Matt THANKS TO EVERYONE!
FPrice is going to help explain. This is a quandry with what we found. The quandary: THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE! I have been pointed towards this video which was on American Rifleman. The video is slightly less specific about the Victory Model but is interesting. When I find out more I will let you know. STUMPED and couldn't sleep.
