Default Model 40 The Centennial, Model 67, M31, M34, and a M19.

Picked these beauties up over the past 2 weeks.
The Centennial M40 has a serial number of 12XX. I believe it is a first year run of 1952. Someone correct me if I am off on the date. Grips number and she is a looker.
The 19-5 (1982) is a shooter and the price was right. Took off the rubber grips and placed proper ones on her.
The 31-1 (1975) .32 long came with original box and papers. She too is stunning.
The 34-1 is gorgeous and came with original box, papers, and tools still in the bag.
The 67 is a no dash from 1973. Stainless sights up front and a joy to shoot.
Pics don't do them justice.
Enjoy!
Hank

Sir, I believe you will find that a gun with a 4 digit serial number is probably mid to late 1953!

They're all beauties, but I'm terribly, terribly envious over the 40 and the 31-1.
