Did S&W change to EDM in 95?

It was an early 629 Mountain Gun with EDM/ECM rifling, at least 1997 as it had the new style thumb piece. When it was sold I purged it from my data-base so I can't tell you with certainty when I bought it, but not too long after 1997.
I replaced it later with a 629 "Mountain Revolver" Model 1989. It naturally has cut rifling of correct dimensions!
