Black Body Hasselblad Year Introduced?

[aoresteen]

Does anyone know when Hasselblad officially introduced black body cameras like the black 500C/M? I thought it was around 1977 but inventorying my gear I find that I have a 1973 black A70 magazine. So it must be 1973 or earlier.

Thanks!

My 500C/M is a black body and is also a 1977 model.

I can't find anything that says it specifically. It might coincide with the introduction of the C/M series, I don't recall seeing any black 500C's.
