Please help identify...

Trying to identify approximate age of a couple recent acquisitions:
14-3 6" serial 3K82XX
64-8 4" round butt serial DBH78XX
Also curious as to what original grips might have been on the 64, it's currently wearing Uncle Mikes.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Welcome to the most important place on the internet, the S&W forum.

I can't access the Bible (SCSW) right now, so I asked X.com Grok and it replied:

14-3: 1970
64-8: 1995–1996
