M Mike Irwin Staff Dec 21, 2001 #2 Unless someone else chimes in, I'll look it up for you when I get home this evening. However, just off the top of my head, I'm thinking sometime in the 1960s.

S Steven Mace New member Dec 21, 2001 #3 Rjknewfire, Mike was correct! Your Model 28-2 was made around 1966-1967. Hope this helps! Steve Mace
S S&W44 New member Dec 21, 2001 #4 Pretty good for off the top of your head,Mike.My Standard Catalog says 1966-1967.
M Mike Irwin Staff Dec 21, 2001 #5 OK, guys, time to let you in on my secret.... I've got two 28s, a 4 and a 6. Both are 28-2s. The 28-2 was introduced in 1961, and in 1969 the serial number went over to the N prefix. It's those little things you tend to remember. Production was sometime in 1966, if extrapolating a smooth production of N-frames, probably sometime between June and September or October.
