I picked up this 4 screw 18 yesterday, and was wondering if someone can tell me what year it was made,(k3942xx) I think '57 or'58. It's in excellent condition with the main wear being the turn line, but this will get shot, and hopefully soon. I did clean it, and removed the grips. The #'s stamped on the grips match except the last digit. The last digit on the grips is one higher then the # stamped on the gun. Was this just perhaps someone's mistake when it was put together? Thanks in advance.

Book says K 386805 - K 429894 1960.
As Roy says, I hope this helps.

S&N make it look like 1960. Probably an error with the grips, but the question is when - before or after finishing. Do the grips look like a perfect fit, or just close?

Not surprising. They are surely original. Although I know very little about the actual sequence (I think that someone did post about it once), my understanding is that small errors like this are not all that uncommon.
