Colt Agent/Year Made?

Hello. Today, I was able to get my paws on a LNIB Colt Agent and am interested in getting the year it was made. If anyone out there can help or guide me in the right direction, I'd sure appreciate it.

Ser #: 247XXX

I've been envious of my friend's Agent for years and FINALLY found one; even a blind hog gets an acorn every now and then.

Best.

According to R.L. Wilson, your Agent was made in 1968. The series started in 1962.

Hello. Yes, Marsh, was very quick.

CR Sam: Thank you. I might tote this thing a bit, but mainly got it just because I like the little Agents. I'll shoot it tomorrow and see how closely the sights are dialed in.

Best.

Very nice little piece. More concealable than the Cobra. Wish I had bought the Agent in 63 but for $40, NIB, cant complain.

Greeting's Steve-

I don't have a clue as to how to date Colt's of any kind; but
I do know that you have found a beauty. The old model colt
Agent has always been one of my favorite pieces. I bought
one back in 1976 that was LNIB with the original box, wc,
and all paperwork; while on vacation in North Carolina.
You could still see the original selling price of $89.00, as
marked with an ink pen on the end flap of the box. After
several years of ownership, I decided to sell it for a small
profit. I haven't been able to locate another one since!
My serial number started with 888XXX, so yours most
definitely pre-dates the one I use to have by quite a
margin. Enjoy, my friend-

Correction To Previous Post-

Greeting's again everyone-

In checking my written records, I find that the old model Colt
Agent previously owned by me had a serial number of 264XXX;
the 888XXX mentioned above was incorrect. Guess my memory
isn't as quite as sharp as it used to be? I decided to make a
corrected entry, instead of editing the previous post.
