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…

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.
