If anyone has any other 657 product codes that I haven't pictured please by all means feel free to post them here.

I'm not sure if this is that product code, as it came w/o box, but IIRC it's roughly 1997 vintage:
Have the original rear sight, but this one's a hunting gun, not a collector. (Currently it's quite hideous, wearing a partial coat of Krylon dark brown camo paint to reduce the shine. Easily removed, but...)
ETA: Purchased slightly used, w/o box way back around '98-'99. Back then it was just another one of those "sub-standard Smiths that they are putting out now..." They all seem to get better with age for some reason!
