I don't exactly know the answer, however, I have Carl Gustafs Stads sn 60992 that is dated 1915. I would therefore assume because you have a lower sn it would be 1915 or before.

No published sn data that I know of.
Might be 1979 or it might not be.
Need a detailed description of ALL markings.
Without having access to the manufacturing records of Carl Gustav, this would be difficult to determine based on serial number, and even more so without knowing the exact model of the rifle. On top of the chamber, the 6.5x55 Mauser rifles manufactured by Carl Gustav had a date printed below the ordinance mark. A closer examination of this part of the rifle may reveal this.
Carl Gustav recoilless rifle was created in 1948.
Value of ANY gun is based on exact make, model, condition, and originality. Yours could be anywhere from $100-$450. Would really need a hands on assessment from someone that knows Euro firearms. BTW, the 6.5 is a GREAT caliber.
Bofors Carl Gustaf AB is a Swedish armaments firm, now owned by Bofors. Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori ("Rifle Factory of Carl Gustaf's town") was founded in 1812 as a state arsenal. The name Carl Gustaf's town was a name used intermittently for the town Eskilstuna after king Karl X Gustav gave the town city privileges. Between 1943 and 1991 the factory was run by a state agency named FFV, and the whole complex was often referred to as FFV-Carl Gustaf Hope this helps. George Parris Manilla NSW
