1958 is correct. The Model 14 designation was introduced the year before in 1957. Prior to that it was known as the K38 Masterpiece or K38 Target Masterpiece. Manufactured from 1948 to 1982.
The Model 14 was usually manufactured with a six inch barrel, the 4 inch barrel was the Model 15 Combat Masterpiece, which had a ramped front sight. Some model 14s were made with a 4 inch barrel and a square cut front sight, but not that early.
