Found this gem at Ben's Loan in Renton today.
I need to date it, but I think it's from '79. In great shape, I took it apart when I got home. I'm in the process of rubbing it down with Mother's Mag Polish. I'll post after pics when it's done.
Before:

After: (pics don't do it justice, it has a mirror finish)
The extractor rod needs to be bead blasted, and the grips need to be swapped for something more comfortable.

Nice find! Any P&R 60 is a good one to pick up.

If you keep those grips, I recommend a Tyler T-Grip which will help a ton with both trigger and recoil control.

No dash model 60 would be 1965-1972,
If it has an R prefix in the serial number it was made 1969-1972
