Yes. I can't believe how often this question comes up.
Having lived with this stuff all my life, it just seems to be too obvious. I guess it isn't.

Well, it seems to be a 1993 serial number. If so, your example comes from the very end of dash 2 production, as the dash 3 was released that year.
But keep in mind that S&W serial numbers are not an infallible guide to release dates and the matter seemed to get worse after the implementation of the 3-letter serial numbers.
And welcome to the forum!
Regards,
JP

So if you ask for a box of .38 specials do you mean bullets, or cases or cartridges???? Or is is "Catridge" 
(hey it's 9:47 Friday-I'veen drinking and am feeling a bit feisty!  )

My LGS knows I'm a gunnie,so he might interpret my request as wanting a "boxful" of Model 10s, 15s,67s,etc. ;-P
