Default Model 39s (No Dash) old enough to be Curio-Relic status

Living in California many of the S&W Semi Auto pistols I'd love to bid on are not on the acceptable Ca DOJ list.

Not really in the market for a plastic gun I'd prefer a single stack version (439) of what I currently own (459) but that's not going to happen for another decade or two.

Since the pre July 1968 shipped 39s are past 50 years old they are exempt and no longer off limits to buyers in Ca near as I can figure.

3XXXX
6XXXX
and very low 8XXXX
Look like they are all past the line. A detailed list of acceptable range numbers in the 80,000s would be most useful to bidders-buyers.

Correct me if I'm in error please or missed the boat somehow.
Now I just need to watch the auction sites and see what turns up. No safe queens please I want a well used piece and a LEO turn in would suit me just fine.
I'll continue to search the old threads for numbers and shipped dates and compile more numbers by year and month.
Bob.
