It’s between 1970 & 1976. That’s as good as that serial number will get you. We need plenty of pictures to do any better

If you know your woods you can narrow it down some more. 1970 had Pao Ferro with rosewood stripe and African bubinga. 1971-72 had shedua with rosewood stripe and African bubinga.

The wood types are beyond my expertise. I looked on line at the types but to be honest the both look to similar in my eyes to tell the difference.

It is flush with the riser. Looks like its gold or brass color.

Looks like Shedua and Bubinga too me. Always liked the early 70's with the laminated hardwood risers.
