Probably late 64, early 65 according to the VDG.

Check out the serial number section in the Vintage Drum Guide at the link on top of this page. Quite helpful!

I've got quite a few in that particular serial number range. That serial number is usually an early 65 model. Some of the older guides had some incorrect data. Forum member KCDrumdad put together an excellent updated guide to Ludwig Serial numbers.
