What is the age of a 12 gauge JC Higgins Model 583.10 shotgun?

Answer 1

It was made on 2/27/47. This is called an Roll Mark Date. I found it at http://www.histandard.info/models/private/Sears/SearsBolt.html I was given this model by my father and would like more info on it.That is right 2 27 47 however the gun was actually by Harrington & richardson arms .The gun is known as the J C higgins. model 10. Sears owned the rights to manufacture and also owned all of high Standards shotgun prodution till 1957 The sears model 10 has nothing to do with High standard they simply made the guns for Sears High standard never sold this perticular model The gun is a genuine Sears orfan. That being said The fact remains is that it was based one a very good design and despite its age it is still a very good gun indeed

Answer 2

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! The JC Higgins Model 583.10 shotgun was produced by Sears, Roebuck and Co. in the mid-20th century, around the 1950s to the early 1960s. So, if your shotgun is a 12 gauge, it's likely around 60-70 years old. Just imagine all the beautiful memories and stories it holds within its metal and wood.
