I have a gun show purchased, Model 60 Chiefs Special in SS. Serial number AFM9265, located on the base of the butt. Thank you in advance for any shipping date info the group may have.

The three letter serial prefixes started showing up in 1980 and the conversion to them was completed in 1983.
The S&W book lists AEV to AFJ prefixes in November 1984 and AHA 0667 with a start date in January 1985.
That would put an AFM serial around December 1984.
It's just approximate however as it indicates when the prefix first appeared, and some guns with the prefix may have left the factory later.

Ship date......
September - December 1984.
Most likely.
All Model 60s are stainless steel. The Model 36 is the Blue version of the
Chiefs Special
