I am trying to figure out the date of manufacture of a 29-2. Serial number is N863685.
Thanks

Welcome aboard!

That's a late 29-2. I'd guess it shipped in 1981-2. 29-2's have recessed chambers. Does yours still have a pinned barrel?
 
Welcome to the Forum! Glad you dropped anchor here. I agree that per the s/n your .44 Magnum is a late Model 29-2, manufactured just before the 29-3 was introduced in 1982 (without the recessed cylinder or pinned barrel). You didn't mention the barrel length or whether your revolver is blued or nickel finish. Do you have the mahogany presentation case for your revolver? All of these can affect its current value. Forum members like pictures, so if you could post a couple that would be great. Lots of .44 Magnum and Model 29 fans here on the forum, so you're in good company. Enjoy!
