I have a Model 19-4 in hand. 2-1/4" barrel, Polished nickel, S/N 26K8057.

The way I read the 3rd edition, it says that 1978 Started with 25K0001 and 1979 ended 56K9999, So that puts this revolver somewhere in March of 1978, maybe?

25K001 – 56K9,999......1978 – 79

That's one way to look at it. However, the SN range dates are manufacturing dates, not shipping dates, which could be somewhat later. A factory letter would be required to establish the shipping date.
