But your pleasing comment made me check some other sources and it seems that HW77 was established earlier than 1980 indeed. All I could find so far sounds like early 197*.
So please accept my sincere and humble appologies.

I checked
http://www.weihrauch-database.eu/thelist
and the earliest entry of a HW77 (in .22) / ser. no. 683223 there is dated 1973 (estimated by computer).

So still not sure WHEN EXACTLY they came to the market.

Do YOU know more?
According to HW it was first sold in 1983 and a lot were sold that year,from s/n 100xxxx to 104xxxx
Just looked on Wiki and that also states first year of production as 1983
