Hi, Randall, and welcome to the forum! It would appear that you have an original Model 69, not a 69A. These date from 1935 to late 1937, so you would be off a few years in your date estimate. The tip-off is the cocking knob and the cock-on-closing action. The stamp on the receiver is probably an assembly or inspection stamp. Since yours has the projecting takedown screw, the latest it could have been made would be about September of 1937.
