Question for Ruger Fans/Collectors

Just found a three-screw Super Blackhawk that has an original steel ejector rod housing. I've owned a couple old Flat-top Rugers which all came with steel housings but only the earliest Super Blackhawks came with steel housings. Serial number is 10XXX. That seemed like a high number to still have the steel housing but this one looks original. Anyone know what the year or serial number range was when they switched to aluminum?
 
For the 90+ people who scanned this question, in case you're interested:

Ruger went to the aluminum ejector rod housing in 1963. For the Super Blackhawk that was at about serial number 11,XXX.

I got the answer at www.rugerforum.com as suggested.
