Good Afternoon David,

First Issue marked guns when manufactured after Bob Serva purchased Wesson Firearms in 1996.  I don't believe manufacturing started until 1997 or 1998 because the company was moved from Palmer, MA to Norwich, NY.  

I have a few First Issue guns that were made around 2000.

Hope this helps and welcome to the forum!

Jody

Agreed, we'd love to see somecool-pics

There haven't been many 1st issue 740 guns to surface lately, so info other than what Jody has posted is till sketchy. Sorry.
