Most likely late 1942 or early 1943. There isn't much info on exact dates.
Looking at available information on batch numbers one can come pretty close to date.

You're welcome. Sorry I couldn't find more info.
Never be sorry, Dogface...we all have a job to do and we all do it to the best.

The serial number indicates Feb. or Mar. of 43 for the production date.
