If my notes are correct, there were not many made with numbers below K66000. I think there is a chance yours shipped in 1948.
Letter this gun!
Edit: I may not be reading the serial number correctly. Is it K57xxx or K67xxx? If the latter, it is probably a 1949 gun.

If I read the chart right, a K67XXX gun would also be 1948 gun. At least that’s where I’ve identified a couple of others based on SCSW-4. If it were one of the
very first ones it probably would have a LERK, but that would be a scarcity within a rarity.
