what year was this revolver produced?

[bk40]

I'm in the process of purchasing a Colt Detective Special. The present owner tells me it was made in the '70s but he's not sure of the exact year. All the info I have to go on is this pic-

and the serial #, 8791xx

I'd appreciate any help towards dating this sweet looking revolver.

Daniel, not doubting you or the year 1965... lets just say I'm as confused as ever! Its not a big deal about the year as I'd just like to have the info for my records. Thanks for your time.

ps- citizen, for once I was the early bird

BK,

My book also says 1965.

Daniel and sw627pc, thanks very much for the info. Only reason I was a litte skeptical was the present owner thought his friend bought the DS in '75 or '76. Ooops, wrong decade
