There are no known date codes for CVA, but with a low serial# such as yours it is obviously early in that models production. IF the model was known I could give you an idea of the year based on when production started. If you need help with identifying the model the online auctions like gunbroker, auction arms and proxi bid are good research tools. Enter what you know in the search (CVA .45 black powder) or (CVA 45 muzzleloader) and compare photos to what you have. You may have to search archives or completed auctions, but you should have good luck.
