That is an odd one. I'm curious to see what the experts say. I would expect it to have target stocks and a red ramp front sight.

Does the Gun have a "S" Serial number prefix?

Members the Serial# starts with N I think it's 1975. Maybe a special order with the Diamond Magnas and the Patridge front sight?

the grips will not be original. the diamond was eliminated in the late 1960's, 1966 I believe.

The patridge sight is probably a modification also

1975 is too new for diamond magnas. The diamond went away around 1968.

Edit: Kris beat me to it.

That SN would put it from 1970, possibly 1971. So diamond magnas should not (but never say never) be original. There may be a SN stamped on the inside of the right grip panel.
