I am not sure but I just purchased one off of a man 84 years old. He said he received it as a gift from his dad at age 12. That would make it purchased from Wards in 1933. Maybe this will help. Sorry after closer inspection my gun was 59-a model so I am not sure if the 59 was manufactured before the 69s or if the 69 was a better quality.
