Wiki must have old info then, it showed 1959 as the beginning of model 19-1

Yes, SCSW shows that as well, but I don't think that necessarily means they started making 19-1s on January 1 of that year. The serial number range for 1959 was K350548 to K386804, so your gun was apparently toward the beginning of the year, when they presumably were still making 19s. The change that's the difference between the 19 and the 19-1, by the way, is the threading of the extractor rod - right-hand vs. left-hand, respectively.
