Sheridan Silver Streak year of make.

[Spikefrb]

Guys (and gals)
Wondering if any of the experts can help me out.
I recently found a Silver Streak that I was told was made in 1962. Can anyone confirm for me?
It:
Has no serial #
Barrel is slightly shorter than air tube.
Says "SILVER STREAK 5/5mm CAL" on one side, and "SHERIDAN PRODUCTS INC" on the other.
Rear site is installed with 2 screws, 1 on each side. Single adj screw on top.
Front site is ramp style.
Pump handle is attached to tube with 2 rivits.
Any info is much appreciated.
Cheers
Spikefrb

Hmmmm, thanks for that. Very interesting. Mine has a pump arm that is rounded and comes to within an inch or 2 of the end of the air tube. These pump arms look angle cut at the end...possibly just the pics?

The 1962 date might be correct. My best friend had a silver streak around 1965 with the rounded fore-end.

Thanks for that. I've narrowed it down to a '62.
In '63 they changed to a rocker safety...mine still has the original thumb safety.
And in '62 they came out with the hand guard...which mine has.
Deductive reasoning.
Thanks again.

The one with the thumb rocker safety, there is a toothpick trick. The safety makes difficult to shoot. It's in the video.
