I just purchased a S&W 65. It has some symbols on the yoke. What do they mean?

I blocked out what I believe is the serial number, but what are the symbols?

Thanks

They are factory build numbers.

'S' may represent stainless, as Smith & Wesson also used an 'N' to represent nickel, and the two would not be confused. It may also appear on other internal surfaces (check under the grips).

You blocked out the assembly number. The serial number will be on the bottom of the grip frame.

Thanks! I wondered about that as well, since both numbers are on the butt. One on the bottom and one of the side.

The serial number on a lot of models are also on the inside of the frame, in front of the cylinder, where the crane fits when it is closed, just so you know.
