Looking for Info on 39-2 S/N 157XXX

I have a 39-2 a customer wanted me to list on GB but after examining it I found the decocker is not functioning. After searching on this forum it appears to need a new sear release lever that has to be fitted for proper operation. If my research is correct this is a 1st generation handgun. Wondering about production year for it as well. It is a good solid feeling weapon but need to repair decocker before listing it for sale. Any info would be appreciated.

Early to mid-1972 for 157xxx. Definitely a 1st Gen pistol, 39-2 ran from 1970 to around 1982 or possibly a bit later. There was some overlap at the end of the 1st Gens and the start of the 2nd Gens.

Can anyone provide a link showing serial numbers and dates of manufacture/shipping? Thanks.
