Smith & Wesoon Model... 30?

[Pbyrescue]

Hi all. My wife got this gun from her Dad back in the 1980's. It does not have a model number marked inside anywhere. The serial number is 615xxx. Any idea when it may have been made?

It is a 32 Hand Ejector

I have #596038 that Shipped in January 1953, and #630091 that shipped in August 1955. So likely 1954.

It was built about 3-4 years before S&W started using model numbers.
