Looking for the year my 586 was born

[GyMac]

Hi All! Just picked up a beautiful 586 no dash and was hoping someone would look up the year of manufacture for me. Serial no. is ABF5032. Thx in advance!

My bet is 1982,
Curious does it have a large right side trademark or a small left side TM?

Btw if it has the letter "M" stamped in the yoke cut it has had the hammer nose bushing mod.

Thx! Trademark is left side, under the cylinder release. It has not been modified. And it has the patridge sight that I prefer.

Whats your barrel length? My no dash (ADCxxxx) is the only long tube I own. It seems odd to me that mine does not have a patridge front sight. No M stamp on this one.

Is it a 4" ?
Every 4" in that era I've seen was a baughman ramp fs.

I have the 6 inch version.
