The 'alphabet soup' serials are tough to pin down. The factory jumped around but a quess would be 2004-2005

O-guy, OK, here we go... 06=6 shot 2004, A2=Single Action/DoubleAction, MD=Medium frame size, GR=Rubber Grips, BF=Full-lug Barrel, SW=White Outline Adjustable Rear Sight, SR=Red Ramp Front Sight, FS=Stainless Frame, CS=Stainless Steel Cylinder, ZS=Satin Stainless Finish. 2004(+) would be the "born on" date. Hope this helps. Best Regards.........
