Like so many production improvements S&W made, they didn't all come at once. We've seen some with lower numbers that have the newer sight assembly, some with higher that have the older one. Which leads us to the conclusion that you can't depend on all the hard and fast rules we'd like to make. S&W was in the business of pushing guns out the door. They completed guns with the parts they had on hand.

I pulled out my 22 Outdoorsman revolvers in the 640,000 range:
642908 shiipoed June 1932 has a 1 screw sight
647607 shipped in August 1934 has a 2 screw sight
649846 shipped in November 1935 has a 2 screw sight
So it is probable (if such can be said for S&W) that the change tood affect between 642xxx and 647xxx
