Default Age/ship date of Model 39-2?
Hello fellow S&W enthusiasts and fanatics.

My wife (smart lady that she is) just picked up a recently repatriated former Israeli police S&W Model 39-2. It is in excellent mechanical condition and about 90% cosmetic condition-save a few nicks and scratches on the frame and grips.
The only non-factory markings are the importers engraving.

We would like an idea of its age. Serial # A 273XXX

Thanks in advance!
