headshok: 1980.


kreiderm: The highest serial number range recorded in the Standard Catalog of S&W in VHNxxxx in 1999. The 4566 was manufactured from 1991 to 1999. So your gun was made in 1998 or 1999.

crazycobramantin: You have a .44 Hand Ejector 2nd Model. Manufactured between 1915 & 1940, serial number range was 15376 to around 59xxx with 17510 manufactured. 6.5 inches was the standard barrel length, originally with checkered diamond target grips, from 1936 with Magna type grips. Yours appear to be Magnas, but I've never seen on with a thumb rest on it like yours. So if the grips are original to the gun, 1036 to 1940 is your date range.
The Standard Catalog of S&W gave the following values in 2006: ANIB: $2500, Excellent+ $1250, Exc. $800, VG $575, Good $450, Fair $325, Poor $200. Yours appears to be in excellent to excellent plus.
