Sheridan has somewhat of a murky past. The company started in 1945. The silver streak was made from 1949-1990. In 1972 Sheridan started serializing their air rifles, starting with #000000. in 1977 Benjamin air gun company bought out Sheridan. in 1992 Crosman bought out Benjamin. Today Crosman owns all three companies. So if your air rifles has a serial number, it was made after 1977. I found a list of serial numbers for Sheridan on the Crosman web site but they only go up to (#437801) that were made in 1985. So yours was made sometime after 1985.
The first Sheridan model C Silver Streak was called "The Sheridan" it was made from 1949 to 1990. After that it was called the C9 Silver Streak.
