Default Manufacture Date of Model 41

I looked at some older threads to try to date my model 41, but didn't find serial number 4287. Can anybody shine some light on this for me?
Thanks!

Probably 1958, but due to the way S&W handles production, could be 1957 (first year) or 1959. Suggest you get with Jinks (S&W historian) and if he shows shipped in 1957 - definitely get a letter from him - about $60?

Thanks for your help. I will follow up with Jinks. The pistol was originally my Dad's.

My #96XX was produced in December 1958. Yours is so much further back that I would guess it might be very late 1957 or very early 1958. You have one of the fine ones.
