5513 Meters First Production question

Hi there, I'm looking to buy a 5513 serial 340XXXX with a meters first dial. I was doing some research and saw that meters first production dates where pre 1970's for the 5513. Can anyone confirm or provide additional insight? thank you!

3.4 million is to late for a 5513 non-gilt meters first, the latest examples I've seem were in the 2.1-2.2 million range

Thanks for the info. I was about to pull the trigger on this for the head only, but I really wanted 100% original.

The first non-gilt meters first 5513 were from around '66 in the 1.5 million series. Those are the earliest ones I have seen.
