Does anyone here know when Colt changed the D frame Colts to the newer style grips and the ejector shroud? The first gun I ever bought was a week or two before Christmas, 1971. It was a Colt D.S. for my mother. I bought it new at a high volume retail outlet, and it was the older style. I saw on another forum a 1970 ? NIB Colt Detective Special and newer model than Mother's( in my safe). Any help with model changes? Thanks in advance for your help.
 
The barrel was changed in 1973 but the frame was changed in 1966. There are short frame Colts with the pencil barrel. The grips are the same on the post 1966 D frames.
