The serial is AEF7xxx, does anybody have a manufacture date and or an approximate value?

The AEF prefix would date the gun to 1984. The gun looks to be in outstanding condition and I would say it would fetch about $600. However, I can't ever recall seeing a Model 19 with a 6" barrel and Patridge front sight, though obviously they made them in addition to the much more common 4" and less common 2-1/2", both of which had ramped sights. SCSW doesn't say anything about the 6" barrel bringing a premium due to rarity, but for the right collector it might, I suppose.
ETA: I've still never seen a 19 with the 6" barrel, but there's another thread that's full of them, so I guess they must not be so rare. A bit unusual, I think, but not rare.
