Well, I got a really nice and clean Colt Dick Special for Father's Day from my wife. Its the newer design with barrel lug and wood target grip. I wouldl ike to know if there is any site where I can check the year of production. The Serial number is F5070XX with number "5" stamped underneath the serial number.

Thank you.

It must be a third generation. IIRC those had the Mark III modifications inside and the ejector rod shroud. They're excellent revolvers but I kinda miss the old timey look. I recently picked up a 1952 Detective Special. SWEET pocket revolver.
