Seeking Model 29-2 manufacture date

[Rotaman]

I’ve acquired a Model 29-2 in .44 mag with a 6” barrel. The serial number is 111XX. I would appreciate it if anyone can give me an idea of the manufacture date.

Thanks

Assuming there is an N in front of that number the 4th edition says 1969-1972. 1969 started with N1 and 1973 started with N100000. However those should have a 6 1/2" tube (I think) rather than the 6". Correct measurement is from the front of the cylinder and not the frame.

Welcome! We need the full official serial number from the bottom of the grip frame, as described in this post:

Thank you. The full number is N411158. And it is 6.5”.

Your Model 29-2 would have shipped in 1977.
