I have Smith & Wesson number 414xxx
Is the chambering .38 S&W Special (Spl) or just 38 S&W on the side of the barrel? Is it a 5 or 6 shot? Is there a letter prefix or suffix with that number?
Take the serial number from the underside of the frames grip butt.

5906's ran from 1989 to 1999. V prefixes started in 1994. Yours is likely near the end of the production run.
S&W's customer service can tell you the DOB over the phone for free.
