It has matching numbers on the trigger block, cylinder and on the barrel assembly. The barrel number is actually on the underside of the breech block and is abbreviated (the first 2 digits have been dropped).

On the right hand side of the breech block it it stamped.......

Yes, the trigger blade is more narrow than current rekord units.

I must also apologise as in my excitement of purchase haze yesterday I read the serial number incorrectly. It is actually 178973 which still suggests 1965 according to the database mentioned above. I have fired off a request to the mother ship for confirmation and will update the thread with the reply in a few days.
