I believe D776897 to be the serial number. Taurus look up probably doesn't go to far back, nor is it very up to date. A phone call or chat session is your only hope.
By the way, welcome to TaurusArmed.net!

I also have a Rossi with similar markings but the S/N is clearly stamped on the frame's grip. Mine is a clone of the S&W Model 36 J-frame. In the 1960-70's, S&W was owned by the same company that owned Rossi (Bangor-Punta). I acquired my Rossi from a widow who says her husband had ownership of the gun when they married in 1970. Based on that, I assume my Rossi is vintage late 1960's to early 1970's. You may want to contact S&W and get whatever information they can provide. It is widely known that S&W sent a group of engineers to Rossi to assist in the manufacture of Rossi's revolvers thus the similarity between the Rossi "J-frame" and the S&W Model 36.
