My S&W model 65-5 ( Added some info and pics in thread 21)

[scout II]

I am trying to figure out when this gun was made and need a little help. It is a model 65-5 with serial number BSH84xx. It came with Uncle Mikes rubber grips that should be original to the gun but I installed the magna grips as I like the looks better. It has the serrated backstrap and forestrap that the book says came out in 1995-1996. It also came to me in a plastic S&W case that the book says came out in 1995-1996, and I wonder if that is correct for this gun, or should it have come in a cardboard box? Unfortunately the end label has been removed at some point so no help there. Here are a few pictures.
