I'know that is possible to request the "Letter of authenticity" but is really difficult to pay for it from Italy.
Thank you in advance
In "ballpark" terms, serials from 1 to 30160 were shipped from 1952 to 1971. Your serial is near the end of this range, so I would estimate that it was shipped somewhere around 1970. Of course you never know with S&W as guns were seldom shipped in straight serial number order.

Hope this helps.
