I have heard the stories that in years past the S&W "vault" wasn't always stocked "First in , First out", and often newer guns were shipped a long time before some older guns. Roy told a story some time ago of a Model 39 that was shipped 14 years after mfg. The date it was shipped is the date of origination per S&W and BATF.
