Well, we don't have any rock-solid way to determine manufacture dates as of yet, maybe one day. So for now, we're going by bits of info we've collected.
I would estimate the 5-digit gun to be somewhere in the '75-'76 range. Could be earlier, though...does it have a porkchop barrel shroud?
The 6-digit gun I would estimate to be in the '80-'81 range.
Do you have each of these guns in Pistol Pac form, or is it just the later one? We'd love to see pics, if you can post some.

Oh, now I see. That sounds like you may have bought this one, then?

According to the article Jody posted in this link…

By early 1975, the Porkchop shroud had been changed to the current one we have now. Prior to '75 there was an external barrel nut used, so the recessed nut shrouds in this pic are the 2nd generation design.
Again, because we're still gathering info here, I don't have actual solid dates as of yet…but I think the recessed shrouds were only made for two years, '73 & thru '74. I could be off by a year, though. They may have made these for three years, '72 thru '74.
Here's another article to read...
Sadly, one of the best ways we currently have to determine manufacture dates on the early DW's is through magazine articles.
