686, date of manufacture?

[Noxx]

Recently nabbed another 686, and am trying to look up it's date of manufacture. ATM I can't find a resource online, I'm hoping someone has their "giant book o' S&W" on their desk this morning.

Model number is 686-3, serial is BFW42xx, much obliged for any assistance.

January 1991, possibly February. Source is Standard Catalogue of S&W second edition.

You beat me to it Radagast, but that's a 10-4 on Jan 1991
