No sn = no way to answer.
In the serial number of a Smith & Wesson 4506, "TEU" typically indicates the manufacturing date and specific production run of the firearm. Smith & Wesson uses a letter prefix system that helps identify the year and month of production, with "T" representing a specific year in their coding. The subsequent letters provide additional information about the manufacturing order. For precise date interpretation, consulting a S&W serial number reference guide is recommended.

Impossible to answer without a serial number.
Smith and Wesson makes parts in batches. There is no guarantee that a frame made and serial numbered today will be built today. The best you can do is to get the approximate date it was shipped from Smith and Wesson to a distributor. If you had provided the serial number, an answer could be given.
