Look at your serial numbers again. They should start with SP1, then 19XXX and 32XXX. The '1' of the SP1 is NOT part of the serial number. Your SP1 19XXX was made in 1972, your SP1 32XXX was made in 1974.
My own SP1, and all the others I can recall seeing is marked: CAL. 223 MODEL SP1 SER SP92xxx If it has any other markings, it may well be preban, but you can't call it an SP1---even if the serial number starts with 'SP'. The model name or number is whatever is stamped on the gun. For instance, Fruit of the Loom's piece is preban, but it's a 'Sporter Match HBAR', NOT an SP1, even tho the serial starts with SP. I suspect that may be the cause of confusion here. The SP serial number doesn'tmake it an SP1.
Being marked SP1 on a line above the serial number makes it an SP1. Originally Posted By shamayim: My own SP1, and all the others I can recall seeing is marked: CAL.

Just had a little piece of info that I thought I'd pass along. Aldelo restaurant pos cracked. I've been looking all over the place for info on my baby's date of birth, so I finally gave up and called Colt's ph# (800-962-2658).
I spoke to a customer service rep, gave him the model and serial # (SP1 Carbine - #SP1174xx), and he told me it was made in 1980. I hope this helps someone else with one in the same serial # range.
