5906 Manufacture Date

[Joe F]

I picked up a 5906 recently and have been trying to figure out when it was made. I found a first edition Std Catalog of S&W, but it doesn't show my prefix (TESXXXX). If someone has a newer version, I'd appreciate a quick look to see when my gun was made. Thanks!

Thank you for looking it up.

I'm wondering if there wasn't some sort of bulk LEO shipment in April, because there are other SN's that were shipped throughout 1990, and from 1989 through 1990. That particular block of TEP-TFA was specifically shipped in April 1990. That's a lot of guns in a month. Of course, those SN's cover all S&W modern autoloaders.
