Age of revolver

I recently picked up an N frame with the serial number of S1971XX. I have what I think is a 1958 (my birth year) 28 with serial number of S1939XX.

I have lost my electronic copy of manufacture dates, can anyone confirm this as a 1958 or is it 1959, or tell me if I'm wrong on both

The Standard Catalog says manufactured 59/60 but you're probably going to need a letter to know for sure. Closest one I have is S185134 which shipped in January of 1959.

Thanks Jeff

Thank you, looks like my 28 may be younger than me.
