Some Eye Candy!

Here are a few pictures of a Smith & Wesson LadySmith Model 65-5 I purchased many years ago from a dude needing money. It’s not for sale- just posting for the entertainment value and perhaps some information.

On one side under the grips are the numbers: 22378 with a space and then 146. On the bottom of the frame under the grip handle are the numbers: BNB6793. On the opposite side of frame under the grips are the numbers: 25526.

Does anyone here know which numbers are the serial number and which are a production number, etc. Also anyone here have a clue to the manufacture date?

Again, this is not for sale - this is one of the guns I plan to keep in my collection.

When I purchased the Smithy the ole boy had only shot a half box of ammo through it and gave me the remaining half box. I have shot another couple boxes of ammo through it.

Thanks for any feedback!

Is it a 3in?

Yes, a 3"

It’s the one on the bottom of the grip. Nice piece you have there. I convinced an elderly friend of mine to trade his browning bda 380 for a 65 ladysmith about ten years ago. The ladysmith has definitely appreciated in value.

You used to see those everywhere, but not so much now. Never owned one, but shot several.
