N7252xx is some time in 1980.
AYU7184 is 1988.
The SCSW has an appendix with serial number ranges, but S&W counts the shipping date as the "birthday". Sometimes a gun might sit on a shelf for months before being shipped, sometimes they go out really quick, so the manufacture date might be significantly earlier (months to a year or more, rarely). Plus, serial numbers are not sequential with manufacture date in many cases.
