If your friend has the Standard Catalog of S & W, you probably noticed this letter prefix wasn't mentioned. Also, as typical for S & W, the ones listed nearby were not in alphabetical order by date - BHJ was July 1991 and BFV September 1992. Yours probably falls somewhere in there.

Do you happen to have the original box? The Special Order code would tell you when the gun shipped.
 
Yes we looked in the standard catalog but didnt find anything. There was a mention of that prefix but it was on a US park police model 10 and they only made 30 with 4 being BJA prefix.

Thanks for the info either way and no I do not have the box.
 
I am having the same problems trying to find the history of a 629-3 classic with 6" barrel that I just bought. Trying to find out the history without paying S&W $50.00 to do it for me. any other suggestions on where to look. I have the smith and Wesson 3rd edition catalog on order.
