Your gun is a beauty. I love the HBH!!! With the star on the butt, is there a date stamped under the grips? I have an RM that has a star stamped, but no date and the star is stamped through the blue, so I don't think it was re-blued. Perhaps it needed a fine tuning before it left the factory. As to when it shipped from the factory, that is one of the higher SNs that I have seen for a pre-war K-Frame target revolver. So I would expect that it shipped sometime in 1940.
