Has a little wear on the cylinder and on the right side frame, plus typical barrel wear, but other than that she's clean. Near as I can tell the gun may be circa 78. Not real sure.
The Standard Catalog lists the 500,000 range of SN from '78-'80, and that most of the 500,000 production range were M28's and M58's.

That spot on the right side, below the cylinder is probably from the metal brad holding a snap in place on the holster it was carried in. My guess is the holster had a long strap that crossed over behind the hammer spur to hold it in place.

Nice revolver, enjoy shooting it.
