Smith Experts, need help on a date/value

[rockchalk06]

Need some assistance. Picked this up today and wanting to make sure I have it valued correct and would love to know approx DOM.

Smith Model 60-10. Serial #CEZ6XXX

3" .357 that's a damn hand full! Front sight has been replaced (have the original). No box.

I think I'm in it with a cheap holster, box of ammo and rug for about 600.

Thanks in advance

Picked up a few seeds to feed this thing.

Did you figure out the manufacture date? I’m guessing late 90’s

Not yet. I need to call them next week.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Pretty sure the locks appeared in 2000-2001 and this doesn't have one. That's about it on my little research

Yeah, that wrong cylinder release but no Hillary hole that lets its soul leak out puts it in the late ‘90s.

Funny how a few MIM parts are so shunned when “investment casting” is considered “good shit” by the same people

If you’re talking about the cylinder release, I don’t particularly care how it’s made, it’s just the wrong shape for a S&W. It’s probably better in every way, it just looks wrong to me.

SCSW says the 60-10 was started in 1996, and so was the 60-11, the 60-12, and the 60-13, all happened in 96, and the 60-14 wasn't kicked in until 2001.
So, beyond a shadow of a doubt, 1995-2002.
Ymmv, but the wheelie bible is usually not wrong.
Idk if you have zipty6's contact info, but he's a true guru
