Between October 2000 (serial number CEMxxxx) and July 2001 (Serial number CEVxxxx).

Could it be a Model 642, stainless barrel and cylinder, aluminum frame? These were discontinued in 1993, which matches the serial number.
If blued it may be a Model 042, per the Standard Catalog of S&W some of these are overstamped Model 642, which suggests there was a problem with the stainless finish and the guns where blued for sale. Potentially one such occurred in 1993, even though the Standard Catalog of S&W lists them as a 1992 production run.
