JC Higgins Model 20 Shotgun does not have a serial number. Guns were not required to have a serial number before 1938
when was the j. c. Higgins model 41 serial number 103,19780 manufactured
There isnt a serial number,usually just the model number you see.
Serial numbers are not normally found on the barrel, since by law the receiver (frame) is the gun- and a barrel is just "parts". By any chance is your 30-06 marked "J C Higgins" or "Ted Williams"? If so, that number is the Sears Roebuck model number. Many of the Sears branded rifles and shotguns do not HAVE a serial number- they were not required by US law until 1968. And yes, it is perfectly legal to own a gun that never had a serial number. REMOVING a serial number is not legal.
There is no serial number on your shotgun. Serial numbers were not required befroe 1968.
what is a J C Higgins Model 583.9 20 gauge worth
The 583.880 is not the serial #, that is the Sears part number. The serial number will be on the other side of the frame.
High Standard shotguns made before 1969 did not have serial numbers except for some exported models and the Model 10-A bullpup. Your shotgun has no serial number.
Without a serial number, the question can not be answered. Even then, you will have to find a book that has been published with serial number data.
If it marked JC Higgins, that Is a Savage model 96 made for Sears. If it does not have a serial number, it was made before 1968,
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.
That's not a serial number- it is a model number. Made prior to 1968. serial numbers not required- and cannot be dated for that reason. Sorry.
