I'd vote for 2007.  259xxs shipped in late 2007 and early 2008

From the same estate I picked up a Rodeo 38sp 5.5, CH hammer #G291

Looks like an all USA made parts gun, very nice and I would enjoy it either on the range, carry or as a "Safe Queen."

I think this gun is from an American or Italian manufacturer. It is worth paying attention to the cam part of the housing.

Not trying to be snarky but that doesn't narrow it down very much. What do you see on this gun that appears Italian in origin?

I must say, while I don't pretend to know anything about USFA, I'd be happy with it just on looks alone! If it shoots good, a big plus! How does it shoot?

I believe the small hole cut at the base of the loading gate is another USA made gun feature.
