Post a picture of the box's end label and I can tell you the exact day it shipped.

OK according to the standard catalog, this is what I see:
AHA 0667 is January 1985
AHS-AHT is July 1985
So I would think it is circa 1985.
The 29-4 didn't come out until 1988, so I think 1985 is what makes sense.

Nice revolver. I bought a 29-3 brand new back in 1987. Mine has the 6" barrel and it is a well made revolver. I've taken care of mine and it has never let me down. Have fun shooting that one!

It is a beauty. I only have 4"ers, and I want to get either a 29 or a 57, and I am thinking a 6 or 6.5" barrel may be in the cards.
I like your a lot. Very sharp!
