Probably somewhere between 2002 and 2005. But serial number is needed for a more accurate date. According to the SWSC, the 65-7 was the initial offering with the internal lock in 2002. The Lady Smith was discontinued from the catalog in 2005 but was still in production.
You have the newer version of the 65 LadySmith. My Ladysmith is a 65-5 made in 1993. No lock, firing pin is on the hammer, original ACE cherry laminate Ladysmith grips. ACE Grips was later bought by S&W
You do have the serial number. It is on the gun. The bottom of the grip on the frame.
