Are you sure it's a P not a F [?]
F would be a '74.
P maybe a '77-'78 [;)]

The Detective Special is a nice gun. I have F472xx in my collection, from 1974,
FYI Colt did not make a stainless steel Detective Special. Blued and nickel only.0 -

Yes they did. It was called the DS II (Detective Special II).

My Colt serial number book (Blue Book) shows this to be in the "Third Issue" series, 1982, P36850 - P61990, if it is six figures and doesn't have a K suffix. 0 -
