Missashot's New S&W Model 60-?

[Kramer Krazy]

My wife, Missashot, just picked up a used S&W Model 60 yesterday, but we are interested in which version it is. Once the cylinder is swung out, it clearly says "MOD 60", but above it, it has "NY-1". Is this a Model 60-1? Her 629 has "629-4", so I was figuring it should have "60-1" if it were a dash 1 on this revolver. Also, anyone interested in dating it..."AWP58xx"? For those of you that love pictures, here's one...

Greeting's Sir-

Your Smith & Wesson model 60 .38 Special was most likely made in July
of 1987, according to the 2 edition of Standard Catalog Of Smith &
Wesson. The NY-1 is probably a frame assembly number, used on
the production line?

I think NY-1 is a special run for NYCPD. Someone else can give more details, I'm sure.
