Model 25 date code

[pcmacd]

I've an awesome Model 25 with s/n 212xx, and I cannot for the life of me find a date code anyplace on the rifle.

I've looked it up and down, receiver and barrel with a magnifier.

I'd like to know the year of manufacture.

Help!

The closest I can come on my datase is 21279, which is a 11/28 production. Most in this serial range are made in 1928, however, Remington did not always make them in order of serials, for instance, 21124 is made in 1929.
