Anyone know how to decode Rex Merrill Pistol serial numbers?

Curious when 0556277 was made? It is a Sportsman made in Rockwell City, IA by Merrill Co. Inc.

Thanks!

Jim passed away in March.....his family is supposed to take over the business, but they have not been answering emails unfortunately.

Bummer. In the 90's I talked with Jim quite a bit.
