A little help with some dates please...

[charlessummers]

I recently picked up a couple of Model 60's. One is a Model 60-14, 2" with a serial number of CHD3356.
The other one is a 3" Model 60-15, with the serial number of CNM1742.

Both of course are .357 Magnums.

Looking for insurance coverage, and they are asking about the age of some of the firearms.

Thank you in advance!

Reported shipping dates per SCSW 5th edition:
CHD is 2004, CNM is 2010
Best to call S&W to get exact date as these are reported examples; no guarantee every one of those prefixes shipped in the listed year.

Good finds!
Added: If you have original boxes, the label's Spec Order box gives the year and day shipped per Julian calendar. Post pics and we can transcribe if you need help.

Thank you for those answers. Unfortunately I do not have the boxes for those two. On other one that I have (#3) CTY0002, I have dated to 2013 based on the spent cartridge package that is in the one box that I have.
