Somewhere between 1915 and 1940. My guess would be about 1930.........FWIW
You must call S&W to find out.
Depending on WHICH Hand Ejector, anywhere from 1896-1910 or so.
Call S&W and they will tell you when it left the factory.
There are 2 possiblities for your Smith and Wesson revolver.You could have a .32 double action which was made between 1909-1919,or you could have the 32 hand ejector series third model which was made from 1911-1942 with the serial number that you have provided.
475540this serial number falls into either the .32cal hand ejector series,or model 30,31.The serial number also indicates that your Smith and Wesson revolver was made between 1911-1942 which encompasses serial numbers 263,001-536,684.

Your serial number was used by Smith and Wesson for the models 10,12,13,45,64,65,547.It dates this serial number to the year 1979.
It sounds to me that with the serial number you provided,you have a Smith an Wesson .32 hand ejector(postwar),Pre model 30.These I frame revolvers were made from 1948-1960.The serial number range is from 536685-712953.Yours falls into this range.I would say that yours was probably made in 1958-1959.
No way to know exactly.Call S&W and they can tell you when it was shipped. It could have been in the warehouse for weeks or months.I believe that you have a Smith and Wesson .32 Hand Ejector series third model that was made sometime between 1911-1942.The serial number range is 263,001-536,684.
1978. 100-400 or so
I can only say that your revolver could be a 38 special hand ejector M&P(military and police)which was made from 1902-1903.The serial number range is between 20976-33803 during this time span.
