s&w serial number question

[dlbleak]

I;ve got a s&w model 66.The number is 9k67xx.according to the "standard catalog" it shows the 4 digit number after the k starting in 1977.But it also shows the serial starting with a 10 and not a 9.Would this be a very narrow serial run? Leighton or any others know?

Look at the 1975 date codes, you've got two runs 8K20764-9K1; 8K20000-9K100000. Thats where yours falls.
