You cannot age a sheridan air rifle with no serial number. ----------------------------------- New Answer------------------ The above answer is not entirely correct. Sheridan rifles did not carry serial numbers before 1972. So if yours has no number it was made before 1972. Also if you can find the model number, then that can identify the date range that model was made.
Sheridan has somewhat of a murky past. The company started in 1945. The silver streak was made from 1949-1990. In 1972 Sheridan started serializing their air rifles, starting with #000000. in 1977 Benjamin air gun company bought out Sheridan. in 1992 Crosman bought out Benjamin. Today Crosman owns all three companies. So if your air rifles has a serial number, it was made after 1977. I found a list of serial numbers for Sheridan on the Crosman web site but they only go up to (#437801) that were made in 1985. So yours was made sometime after 1985.
by the serial number. Post the serial number here on answers, put it in the "air gun and air rifle" category and I'll locate an answer for you.
I know I'll regret answering this question because there is so much confusion regarding this rifle. Let me explain. At one time Sheridan, Benjamin and Crosman were 3 different companies. In 1977 Benjamin air gun company bought-out Sheridan and continued the Sheridan line. In 1992 Crosman air gun company bought-out Benjamin and kept both Benjamin and Sheridan lines going. Up until this time the serial numbering system was very poor for Sheridan. There is even confusion around the C, C9, C9A & C9PB as to when they were produced. Most Sheridan models were just marked "Sheridan" From 1949 to 1990 In 1972 serial numbering began with. #000000. As you can see yours had too many numbers to date it. I Think yours was made sometime after 1990. See the link below for dates of manufacture and you will see what I mean. Scroll down the page when it opens to the Sheridan section.
