Northeast shooters.com lists it as 1973-74. S&w sucks at records. Top secret information. The -2 puts a mod after 1961.
Google how to identify/date a s&w and northeast shooters should come up. Some guy named pilgrim did a nice job of entering a lot of data.

After reading, pilgrim copied from some other site. Good information to know though

It's birth date is going to be post 1969 as it's an N prefix serial. Previously it would have had an S prefix.

I'd hazard a guess as to Fall of 1973.

A letter request to Roy Jinks, S&W's Historian ($50 and a few months wait) should give you a more accurate date.
