But two years is a long time and I don't believe I've ever seen one that shipped two or three years after 1965. Does the serial number on the box end label match the number on the butt of the gun? And what is the serial number, anyway? By 1967, it should be a high C number. The D numbers started in 1968.

Nice revolver you have there, by the way!
