Do OM SBHs have serial numbers on the cylinder? Mine just has an "S". Thanks, Malcolm
SBH Cylinder numbers
- Thread starter Brother_Love

No - serial numbers are only used on convertable guns to ensure the second cylinder stays with the gun it is fitted for. Some convertables do have both cyliners marked.
The 'S' is the proofmark. All cylinders should have them.
Then others say the 'S' is a mellargy test mark, and other say it's an inspection mark.

New models have the last three digits on the cylinder (at least mine do) vaquero, sbh, and single six 32...

Some Old Model Supers will indeed exhibit "serial numbers" on the cylinders since it's common to mark a "re-work" gun's cylinder so it can be kept with the proper cylinder frame while the gun is getting "repaired", etc.
Otherwise, as stated in the posts above, it's not a common occurrence.
