Let me guess - 222 over 20?

1967-1989, Did you know some of these were 357s! What cartridge for the top,
maybe I can narrow it down a little?

Its 222 over 20. I'm pretty sure it is 1972, but not positive

first one in 222, made in 1967, I cant find dates to serial number list, I have one somewhere. I think your guess is pretty close. if not dead on.

Thanks for the input. If you find the list, I would very much like to get my hands on one. I am an FFL and collector and it would be very helpful. Thanks

I got confirmation that it was made in 1971. Thanks for your input
