Date code location or existence.

I surfed the site for quite a while but couldn't find anything that pinpointed the date. Walter's "The Luger Story" says mine was produced within the 1970-73 period, but doesn't narrow it down any more than that. (Page 248, bottom, "U.S. commercial pattern") I expect to see more info in print as I drift farther into old age concerning the later Mauser models.
