Date of Manufacture for a model 649

[socrates007]

I am interested if anybody can give me a date of manufacture for a S&W model 649 revolver with the serial number AYP1602.

Thanks for any help you can offer me.

P.S. - If I posted this in the wrong place, please accept my apology.

It is likely from the fall of 1987; others here can probably get to a specific month, or if you have the original box we can tell you exactly.

Thank you very much. Unfortunately, there was no box with it.

July to/through December 1987, but possibly as late as Jan 1988.
