DOB MOD19-5 4" 357

I was at a local pawn broker today & came across a 95%+ Condition 4" Blued Model 19-5 357 mag round butt with factory target grips Serial # AUL0100XX
I'm guessing that this gun was made between 1983-1988??
I put it on layaway thinking it had to be worth more than that..
Couldn't let it get away, & the dealer told me they put it out 10 minutes before & had already shown it 3 times..
He knew it wouldn't last long..
I didn't have the extra cash to dish out so I just dropped a $100 on it till my next couple of checks roll through..
What do you all think of the price?? Decent?
Thanks in Advance..

1986-1987 be my guess. Looks like a great deal !!

Thanks!! I was pretty close just from looking
Figured it was made a few years after the pinned barrel was dropped..
I thought it was a round butt??
But after looking at a few pics It's hard to tell with the Target Stocks..
Should have paid a bit more attention..
