| As I recall, the date code is the number of the month and then the year- so 274 would be February 1974. |

You are correct, Sir.
Is there any calalogue info, or other data to determine model? |

Thanks skeettx; So the model 8 is the plain grade. I am happy with it and don't plan to trade it off. It is a quality gun and shoots well. 6lbs 9oz. |
