'R' serial prefix commenced in 1969.
Is 'Kentucky State Police' on sideplate? If so, they were manufactured in 1985.
Sorry, but I don't have anything further for you at this time.
My sole source is the 3rd edition (©2006) , Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, Supica & Nahas.

"New" S&W Revolver
Nope, no KSP on the side plate. There is a number stamped by their armorer on the frame above the trigger. Rather a long number and not lined up very well.
1969 it is.
Thanks,
Ty

S & W Model 60
My 60 looks just like that. I bought it new in May of 1971. Cost was $96.00. I still have it along with the original box and instructions. Still shoots great.

Nice one. Looks to be in good shape for its age. And of course it's just a damn fine little carry gun.

I think if you desire more detailed information that you should contact S&W. In the past, they'd research gun for a fee and write a letter representing its date of manufacture.
1969 was the date the R prefix started. Your gun may be indeed have been manufactured at a later date. I would gather that the owner of this firearm, your uncle, may have passed on, otherwise you'd not be asking.

Yes, my Uncle passed away about 10 years ago.
I just acquired it, & paid $0.00 for the little gem.
(Thanks Dad!)
I will contact S&W for history.
There is a small "X" on the bottom of one of the grips.
I sometimes wonder if that is a "notch"?
Thanks to all for the input!
Ty
