It is just not possible to accurately date allfirearms to a specific year of manufacture. We can tell that yours was made pror to 1968- the year that the law requiring serial numbers changed. With other guns, sometimes there was no record, or the records were lost or destroyed over the years. Sorry-

your shotgun was made in 1947 guns made back then were not required to have a serial no. It was not until the Federal gun control act of 1968 that rifles or shotguns were required by federal law to have a serial number.J C Higgins brand guns were sold from 1945 to 1962 You will never see a J C Higgins rifle or shotgun with a factory serial number.

The JC Higgins583. is a High Standard. If it was manufactured after 1968, the serial number should be on the side of the receiver. If it was made before 1968, it may not have a serial number.

Actually, yes it is. Before 1969 many firearms had no serial numbers. I have two different models of JC Higgins bolt action shotguns made in the 50's and neither have serial numbers. Strange but true!


What year did jchiggins make the 583.24 shotgun?

JC Higgins never made shotguns. That is a Sears model number. Shotguns were made by other companies using the Sears brand name- JC Higgins. Yours is likely a High Standard shotgun. If it has no serial number (most did not) it was made prior to 1968. Serial numbers were not required by law until then.
