Shipping Dates?

[greekfed]

Hi,

I've got two K-frame .22s that I'd like to date.

The first is a model 648, 6" with s/n BHJ95xx.

The other is a model 17-6, 4" with s/n BJA49xx.

Thanks for your help!

Prefix BHJ is specifically mentioned as being produced in July, 1991.

BJA is a little less clear, maybe from the fall of 1993.

Do you have their original boxes with end labels? That would give fairly exact ages.
