Thanks for posting the pic, that is the serial number and I stand corrected. The first stainless steel revolvers ever made by S&W were the model 60s started in 1965 with no prefix letter around S/N# 401754. The Gun Control act of 1968 required a change in how guns were serial numbered. Yours is in the first 100 made in 1969. Hope that helps some and sorry for any confusion.
