Default Model 686-3 year manufacture
My 686-3 four-inch is Serial # BFB 66**. I have the 3rd edition of Supica's Catalog of Smith & Wesson but I can't find my serial number prefix. There is no "BFB" in the listing. I know that model threes were made from 1988 to 1990 but I can't pin it down any closer with my serial number.

Can anyone tell me when mine was made? I would appreciate your help.
