Default Acoustic Alvarez dating method

Not that I want to take my Alvarez out on a date, but I did inherit from my dad an Alvarez model 5044 with a serial #1071 that I'm pretty sure was purchased either late 60s or very early 70s. I was wondering if there was a definitive way of looking up the date this guitar was made. I play this acoustic daily, love the tone and everything else about it. Any ideas? The Internets so far have been mum on serial numbers on vintage Alvarezes.
Thanks,
Kevin

If you are on Facebook, you can PM Alvarez via their page.
You should get an answer back in 72 hours or less.
My 5013 has the date of manufacture (2-2-80) on the sticker.
It is the only one I own that has had this.
