Dating a S&W 39-2

[modifiedbrowning]

I just picked up my S&W 39-2 and was wondering if someone could help me date the pistol. Serial # is A227XXX.
Sorry, no pictures, I don't have a camera.

Thanks, Mike.

1973-74.
(range A175001 - A235000)

Can't date it more precisely as S&W used the same serial number block on all models of auto-pistols including the .22's.
