17

I just picled up a model 17 and was wondering if someone could help me with date of manufacturing. Serial number is K367XXX.

It appears to be 1959.
Congrats.

Would have shipped in late 1959, possibly in Jan/Feb 1960.

K365xxx shipped 7/59
K372xxx shipped 2/60

K350,548 – K386,804...1959 (manufacture)

From other nearby SNs I have listed, yours likely shipped sometime in the second half of 1959.

Once upon a time, I had a K-22 from 1947. It was a fine shooting revolver. Wish I still had it.
