How do I tell when my New Model Vaquero was made?

[Sleepy Floyd]

I bought 2 new ones this year but the serial numbers are vastly different.  One starts with 511- and the other starts 512-

For a new model Vaquero the 511 SN could be from 2011 to 2013. The 512 would be a very recent SN, probably late 2013 or even this year. See http://www.ruger.com/service/productHistory/RE-NewVaquero.html

Thanks,

I just found that site about 5 minutes ago.

I have emailed Ruger to get more info.
