That's a 6" 686, made in the early 80's. It didn't go back for the hammer nose bushing recall. If it had, you'd see an "M" stamp near "686".

I's probably worth around $700.

It's a first generation "no -dash".

Has it sent a hostage note for your son yet?

The "AJV" prefix isn't specifically listed in my book.
My book does say the Mod. 686 no dash began in 1980, and then the 686-1 began sometime in 1986. I'm just guessing once the 686-1 began the 686 no-dash models stopped, but again, that's just a guess.

Nice looking gun.
