S&W model 53 but not stamped

Hoping to get some info as we are stumped. I have a S&W 22 jet, barrel is marked 22 mag, 6" barrel, blue with diamond grips. I know this is a model 53, but it is not stamped with the model only the serial number. I can't seem to find any info on a pre-53 or info on 53's not marked. Any ideas?

Does your hammer, have the 2 firing pins for rimfire and centerfire?
Give us your SN range?
They weren't popular, and in production for a relatively short time span.
Yes hammer has the two firing pins. I will get the serial number tomorrow, but pretty sure it was K429,xxx. I believe our research dated it as 1961 too.
Might have added value to a collector of Smiths. Who collects factory anomalies?
Thank you for your help, Greg.
