Model 69s never had serial numbers from the factory; it may be a serial number was applied post-manufacture to satisfy some applicable ordinance for wherever it was used.
If you could post a clear picture or two, including a closeup of the area from the cocking knob to the front of the rear sight, and tell me whether or not the cocking knob rebounds with moderate spring action when pressed forward in the uncocked position, I could probably give you an estimate of its manufacture date.
