Date my Model 27-2 please

Can someone date my Model 27-2, Serial # 209177. I bought it new in 1975. I carried the gun as a duty weapon from 1975 to when I bought a Model 59, 9mm in 1980. Thanks for the help.

Likely 1974....although the Catalog is not very specific. There should be an "N" before the number on the butt of the gun?
