Very nice 14-2 HB "Hanen Special" (AKA Dayton gun),
From the pics posted it appears your gun actually has the rounded "PC" Magna style non diamond Magna stocks which would be correct for your serial range IMO.

The initial 14-2 HB run from 1965 are mostly found with diamond Magnas with the "PC" (Plain Clothes) rounded heel although IIRC a few have popped up with flat heel diamond Magnas, and while less prevelant some have also been documented as having shipped with Walnut diamond target stocks .

Although with S&W nothing is absolute the second run from 1966-67 are more commonly found with the then new Non diamond Magnas or Walnut diamond target stocks if targets were specified .

While these were a special order for Dayton Gun Headquarters you will notice this early flyer uses the term"Hanen Special" which ironically is almost never used when describing the 14-2 HB.
