My Model 67 3K89XXX was manufactured in 1972 also and has the stainless steel rear sight assembly. Your Model 67 serial number falls in the 1977 range according the SCSW. "With stainless steel adjustable micrometer click rear sight, later changed to a black rear sight" (quote from SCSW). No indication on when the switch was made. The -1 change was made in 1977, moving the gas ring from yoke to cylinder. So obviously your no dash Model 67 was made very early in 1977 or is a "transition gun", you never know with Smith & Wesson. I am by no means an expert on Smith&Wesson's though. Hope this helps.
