Serial numbers ran from C1 in 1948 to C223998 in 1951. Yours would likely be 1948 to early 1949.
Only a letter from S&W would get you any closer but even that would only be the shipping date.

Hello, thank you in advance for still looking up these serial numbers. I have a Model 39-2 with the serial number A169---. If you're able to find this one for me I'd really appreciate it.

An 8 prefix would likely be 1971/72. The serial numbers those years ran from 1J1 to 999J99.

Thank you Jim,

Looks like this pistol was most likely produced sometime during 1980.

I appreciate your help with this.

Thanks again.

That serial number dates to 1975/76. However, that is a N frame serial number (model 27, 29, 57, etc. A model 19 is a K frame and would have a serial number with a "K" in it.
