Re: Pistol age
Tell us the manufacturer. Pictures might help, too.

Re: Pistol age
9 shot, .22 cal, model 929 - -
I bought a new H&R in a gun shop in the 50's that match that description. lots of info on it in an article in Guns and Ammo HERE. My dad bought a 939 at the same time. He only had one arm, and the 939 had a cylinder release button behind the hammer, so it was really easy to open it one handed - Looks like they made it from 1956 to 1986, and by checking your piece against the various changes described in the article, you can pin it down pretty closely.

Re: Pistol age
The prefix AU was used in 1980
