Welcome to the forum!

The Catalog shows it dating to 1987.

After consulting my copy of the SCSW 4th ed. , I find AWD, AWE in 1987 and AWD again in 1988. I don’t see an AWB in 1986,87, or 88. Perhaps one of our experts may be able to help. I’m a rank amateur at this! I have an older brother to yours, 1956. Hank

I am more like Otis Campbell when he was riding the cow. I probably felt like that would be a good idea and wanting to be doing that Thursday after a day of partying but it was my 48th birthday.

Thanks for letting me join and the information. Married in July of 86 and traded a blued airweight for this one did realize it was that new. I love to carry it and have logged lots of time in my front pocket. I have original wood grips but carried with hip grips for years. When S&W made the Gun smoke Wyatt Deep Cover I upgraded to the dechantus clip grips. Tomorrow I am trading for a Beautiful model 49 also nickle plated with box and papers. Was sellers Grandfather's gun. I pray my grandkids will keep my guns and not sell them off.
