Question Anybody know how to find when my Colt Detective Special was "born"?

I have two Colt revolvers and I'm trying to find out when they were made.

One is (I think) a third generation Detective Special serial #B500**.

The second is a Colt Agent serial #B942**.

Anybody got a book or link with this info?

1972 for both would be my guess.

You can call Colt directly and they will tell you the year they were made.
