Ken no doubt used the S&W 'Bible', the Standard Catalog of Smith&Wesson, a large hardcover in its 3rd edition. It has an extensive reference section of manufacture dates listed by serial prefix. It describes most S&W models, and its well worth the price for its pictures alone. And btw, 1975 looks right on.
