Default Another 38/44 HD age question

My .38/44 HD 5" seems to be dated from around the year of my birth; the sources I have been able to find give it as about 1952-1953. Its serial # is S 891XX. Would anybody have the information as to this revolver's date of manufacture or shipping any closer than what I have found out? Thanks GWW

S 891xx
Closest on my list is S 897xx which shipped in 6/52.
S86,000 – S94,999…….…Late 1952 – Early 1953 (manufacture)
