427xxx looks to be about 1926, so 489xxx maybe the early 1930's ?

Later, Mike Priwer

ac4142, One clue as to when your gun was made would be the grips. If they are original to the gun, then they will not have medalions, as all guns made between approx. 1920 & 1930 came with non-medallion grips. After 1930, the medalions were again added to the grips.
