Serial number search S&W Heavy Duty

[38SPL HV]

I would like to find out when approximately my S&W Heavy Duty 38 Special 5 inch was made. Is there any site or literature online to determine its date? The serial number is S 9xxxx (I prefer not to divulge all digits), perhaps someone here can give me an approximate year of manufacture, thank you

Looks like it might be from 1952-54.
