Inherited model 60-7. Looking for DOB please

The a prefix BFY98XX, Non LadySmith.

Though I don't see BFI listed, close BF prefixes show as 1990.

Others may have more specific information.

Oops my mistake, the prefix is BFY

Do you have the box with the end label? I don’t see a BFY in the 5th Edition. My 60-7 was 1993 according to the Spec Ord code. Mine has wood service stocks with the flash chromed hammer and trigger. I bought it new in ‘93 or ‘94.

I had another 60-7 that had Spegel Uncle Mike’s boot grips with the case hardened hammer and trigger. I bought it new around 1994 IIRC. Kind of odd but that’s S&W…

No unfortunately I do not have the box or the original stocks. I will need to find a set of correct stocks.

FWIW I have J-frames with BFU and BFV prefixes that shipped in November and December of 1990, respectively.

Nice revolver, BTW. I’m a big fan of the -7 variant of the Model 60.

IMO, the -7 is the best of the 1 7/8” fixed sight Model 60’s. A non magnum frame, improved yoke retention, 1/8” front sight, new heat treatment, mine has the new extractor without the locating pins.

I just kind of lucked into this. I didn’t know SIL was into guns and her family didn’t know what to do with it. They just wanted it gone.
Good deal for me. I have been on the lookout for a 60 for some years but they were always kinda pricey

My model 60-7 starts with BNNxxxx and I was told it's from 1992 but I never verified that with S&W. It is such a pleasure to shoot.
