Default Recently acquired 19-3 - mfg year?

Recently acquired a great 19-3 (at least I think it's great)!

No box, but awesome condition.

Can you help me identify the approximate year of mfg? S/N 4K88***

Thanks for any insights!!!

1974. The 4K numbers for that year ran from 4K54105 to 4K99999. None were issued in 1975. Of course, a 4K gun could have shipped in 1975, since they did not ship in serial order.
