As a long time collector, I really wish there WAS one place you could go to to do that- unfortunately, it does not exist. The availability of information varies SHARPLY from one make of gun to another. With some companies, like Browning and Ruger, you can go to theirwebsite, and under customer service, pull that info for different models. Remington used a letter barrel code that will allow you to figure out about when your gun was made. Marlin used a letter and number code on their lever action rifles that did the same. But for many guns, there is no serial number data base except what collectors are gathering. and until 1968, rifles and shotguns were not required to HAVE a serial number- so that's out.
There is no such thing.
Yes i too want to know about the same thing.... pleasse let me know here... thanx in advance...
Yes they are basicly the same The Passport number I believe is usually incorprated within the serial number.

Winchester serial numbers were unique to the model of the gun,The only thing the serial number tells you about the gun is it's age.The serial number you've listed was from a gun made in 1974.
A 75 hp Mercury outboard, serial number OB9655687, I can not find on the serial number chart. One thing I see, is a seven digit serial number, with a OB prefix. The seven digit serial numbers, ( prior to 1985 ), had no prefix. Serial numbers with the prefix, ( OA,OB,OC, ect. ), have six digit serial numbers. Could there be an error in the serial number posted?
The only thing one can derive from this question is that you have a firearm with a serial number. More information is needed, such as general description, calibre, etc.
Nowhere! Serial number apply only to articles produced in quantity, their purpose is for traceability and identification. Serial numbers are a very modern thing, a sure way of telling that you have a fake and not an antique.
The only thing that your serial number indicates,is that the shotgun in question was made by Winchester Repeating Arms Company in the year 1954.No other information is implied or expressed as to your shotgun.
Basically impossible to value any thing with just a serial number.
Generally speaking, the thing that makes all bank notes different is the serial number. Each serial number is only used once, and to further make it individualized, the serial number is combined with a letter (or letters) ensuring that no two bank notes will ever have exactly the same serial numbers.
A Gibson's serial number is on the back of the headstock.
