Dating a Model 650

I've spent a bunch of time trying to date this Model 650 but can't find the key to J-frame models.

The serial number is ACC0659. Thanks for any help!

Seems to be 1983 according to the 4th edition (assuming I am reading it right).

Thanks very much for the information. I had posted a similar query on the Rimfire forums and someone gave the same answer but then later deleted their post, so I was unsure.

The revolver was a presentation/gift and the inscription shows the person retired in 1983. Sounds correct!

Thanks again,
Bob
