smith and wesson customer service will tell you, they are just a phone call away and free.
lol you know i didnt even think about that i was looking for the year for my father inlaw
if you are trying to find the age of your father in law, i suggest that you cut him in half and count the ringsQuote:

OK, then cut the gun in half and count its rings.
Failing that, phone S&W customer service.
My Standard Catalog of S&W lists the following for the "C" serial number prefix.
Models: 10, 11, 12, 45, Aircrewman and their pre-model variations: C1-C223998 1948-1951
Customer Service may be able to narrow that down, but they may also tell you to send them $50 for the history letter.
Thanks bruce for the info
customer service does give the exact year..... i have used them many times BUT thats the only thing you get for free, no date, no original purchaser..... just the year
