R prefixes can be spotty. Probably mid to late 1980.

Yes, you can obtain a letter of authenticity from the S & W Historical Foundation that will give the ship (sales) date, its official factory birthday.

Thanks murphydog! I found the application for the letter on the S & W Historical Foundation. Seems very straight forward.
