Your Model 657 .41 Magnum Stainless dates to around July 1987. Serial number in the AVBxxxx to AWWxxxx range shipped that month. As the 657 is not the most common firearm, it may have sat on a shelf for a little while befor shipping, so don't pick a day in July to offer it a cake and candles.
The 657 was introduced in 1986 and replaced by the 657-1 in 1988, so 1987 does seem right.
