Default Model 60 38 special help I.D. Year

Bought this from a Retired California Highway Patrolmen - it was his backup since 1982.

I cleaned it up and it looks better.

Can anyone help with the exact year from this SN# R258XXX

I checked out this Thread, but I'm still new to S&W and any help is very much appreciated...

Makes sense. R220001 - R280000 were made from 1979 to 1980.

Nice gun! Never understood how/why people let their guns get that dirty!
