Smith And Wesson 586 Serial Number Lookup For Guns

Hello -
Inherited this awesome revolver from my grandfather. I cannot find a single comparable listing out there and just want to know some basics on it. Most importantly the date of manufacture and value.
Here are the goods.
Smith & Wesson Model 586
Barrel Length : 8 3/8 '
Blued
Wood Handle
Has adjustable sights on the rear and front.
The front sights have a rotating wheel that can be set to numbers 1 - 4.
The Serial number is as follows : A JY9188
(I can't tell if there is an intended space between the A and the J, or if it should be side by side).
Can anyone help?
S&W model info requests are backlogged for 4-5 months per their website. I'm not in a rush, but don't want to wait half a year for the info.
Appreciate any input !
