I can’t find the CBF prefix at all in my Standard Catalog of S&W.  However, the prefixes do run more or less in order.

Prefixes CBA CBB CBC CBD are listed in 1996.  And CBN is listed for 1997.  Those are the only CB prefixes I see, so that’s no doubt the ballpark.

FWIW, the 65-5 was made between 1988 and 1997.

Hope this helps.
