If you give me the serial number on your High Standard Double-nine, I have a chart and can tell you the exact year it was manufactured.
Here is a picture of my 1965 model

892xxx, pretty sure it is from 1958 (first year of manufacture) based on this chart and because it does not have an ejector return spring.
Whenever I see it, it makes me wish I had a cowboy outfit, black mask & holster/belt like the ones I had when I was around 5-6 years old so I could strap it on, hop onto my stick pony and and yell Hi-Yo Silver, Away while blasting off a few rounds!
