Manufacture dates can sometimes be found using a serial number or different codes stamped on the firearms. For further information we recommend the STANDARD BOOK OF FIREARMS by Ned Schwing and DATES OF MANUFACTURE series by D.R. and M.T. Morse. The STANDARD BOOK OF FIREARMS also provides a general guide for pricing, as well as, very detailed information on different firearms. The DATES OF MANUFACTURE series are great guides in a "pocket book" format that can be carried with you while visiting the shops and gun shows. A good source of the information was taken from these fine books. The links provided is for the purchasing of these books.
