If you know the make, model, and serial number, it may be possible to determine manufacturing date.
The Ithaca side by side 12 gauge serial 188650 was made in 1927.
i do belive it is the last 2 numbers that give you the year
I have a 12 gauge shotgun with the numbers 4041 on it. It has a double barrel and double trigger and hammerless. Could someone tell me what year it was made?
Impossible to answer without the maker's name.
The value of a 28 gauge side by side Zabala depends on the exact year it was made and its condition. Models of this gun in excellent condition are valued between 125.00 and 200.00 as of 2014.
The gauge is stamped on the water table by the serial number. It is a Flues model made in 1924.
What year is your car? Did you mean the CHECK ENGINE light? The battery gauge?
