Determining Gun Age By Serial Number
My father-in-law gave me a 32 cal six shot S&W revolver and need help identifying year and model as I need a part for it. Its a 32 cal lg six shot with a 2 inch barrel it has 5 serial numbers on the barrel and in front of the trigger 55278 no letters it has some moose antler with a 66 on the frame and a eagle stamp on barrel with the letter N under the eagle and it was made by Gerstenber U.
Eberwein in Gussenstadt Germany so the gun says.The gun loads/unloads from the right side thru a swig out lever the cylinder is fixed and does not open or swing out in any way, your HELP would be appreciated. I'm trying to find out what my Remington 870 12 ga. Pump home Defense model is worth. I bought it approx. 2008 or 2009, and I've never shot it.
Since serial numbers were not required until 1968, your firearm may not have a serial number. For models without a serial number, we may be able to determine the age by the 2-3 letters that are stamped on the barrel. If your firearm does have a serial number, if you will call or email us the serial number and model number we can determine the. Firearm Technical Data Search Form. Now you can enter the serial number of your firearm and be directed to the correct schematic for it as well as order parts through our partners Brownells, Inc. And Midwest Gun Works. Additionally, you can see the approximate date of manufacture as well as being able to view/download.
Why, because I have other shotguns and I know what they will do, so I never shot the Gun.I wanted something with a short barrel, because my 870 bird gun- 12ga. Has a very long barrel. ( continued below) The home defense model I have will use either 2 3/4 or 3 inch. It has a synthetic stock and a good rubber butt cushion, or what ever you call it. Can't think of it off hand. I have what at first look appeared to be a Luftwaffe pilot shotgun/rifle combo. I know it is at least wwII, because my grampa shipped it home from Germany during the war.

It is a three barrel shotgun/ rifle combo, it uses drillings. The same as the Luftwaffe but it's has a few different markings.
Ruger Gun Age By Serial Number
Very similar to it though. It has a lot of the same markings as well. The difference is mine has a little compartment on the bottom of the butt that holds drillings. And I found no eagle on mine. Appreciate your time and interest.
