M Mike Irwin Staff Jun 5, 2001 #3 Why don't you date it yourself? Dress it up in a nice holster, take it out for a day at the range, feed it lots of ammo, and then go home and give it a bath, then use lots of lubrication.... Oh, you wanted a date of manufacture. Sorry, I see you've already got that...

M Mike Irwin Staff Jun 6, 2001 #7 Zorro, I'd say the first 3 to 4 months of 1980, judging by the serials in Jinks & Nahaus.
