I do believe Glock originally used a non-captive recoil spring/rod.

'91 is probably about right. That thing looks to be in great shape. I suggest you clean it up and buy a new guide rod from Lone Wolf and you'll be good to go. Pick up a few extra mags while you're at it.

That's a nice piece. My wife gave me one for Christmas in 1993, still have it! I would like to get another one day when I get around to it. Mine came with the captive recoil assembly.

Great G-19!...I also have an Oldie G-19. You can see they were made better than the newer models. I currently have a G-23 just like it and 4 other Glocks, Mike.

this is my 'old-school' G19 i bought back in '90. it did not come with a captive recoil spring, but i've since replaced it with one. my G19 has been the one pistol i've taken with me hiking, camping, road trips etc - just anywhere without worrying about it. the perfect 'utility' pistol. the only other things i've done to it is smooth out and lighten the stock trigger with a ghost 3.5 lb rocket connector, and add more texture to the grip with a soldering iron. more recently was a spray paint job with alumahyde, as it was looking a bit ratty and i just wanted a different colour. i also installed warren tactical sights on it.

My G19
I bought it in the end of 1988. I didn't see your serial # in the post, sorry if I missed it. Mine is DL6xxUS.
It looks like it has the original striker, so you most likely need the six part upgrade. Read about it here:

If you can find a Glock armorer or dealer, Glock will furnish the parts for free, I think.
I also replaced the recoil spring & guide with the newer captured spring unit.
The 19 is my favorite Glock.
