Model 57 no dash .41 Mag
So, one of the books (Standard Catalogue of Firearms) I have says that the Model 57 production Started in 1982 with 57-1. I have a model 57 No dash with serial # N606774? (Late 70's?) Thanks for the help!

Model 57's production began in 1964 with an S prefix serial. Production of 57-1's may have started in 1982. Could you have miss read the section ?

Actually Model 57 production began in 1964
Your serial number dates to late 1979 or sometime in 1980
The 41 Magnum is a beloved cartridge here on the Forum.
It does not matter what model of 57/357/657 family that you own, they all shoot great
You will find many of us that own, shoot, admire and load for this fine family of firearms.

Thanks for the info guys, Looks like they just listed it in the book as 57-1=82, -2=88,-3=90 etc. So I miss read the information. Thanks again!

That is awesome you found the receipt. I have a Model 29 with a N605XXX serial number, and guessed it as 1978 or early 1979, and this receipt pretty much proves that point.
Since I graduated in 1978, and it is a thousand below yours, I’ll tell myself it squeaked in being built in the last of 1978, like December - although it was probably early 1979. Either one is good. 
Congratulations on finding such a fine revolver. .41 Magnum is a great cartridge!
