The serial numbers will tell you how old it is. Firearms that were made before 1968 were not required to have a serial numbers. I would take it to the local gunsmith he/she will know something about it.

A 32 caliber pistol (Smith and Wesson). The additional numbers may signify which model or where it was manufactured. There are plenty of online sites you can consult to find more info or you could try a gun shop.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst, when you filled out the Federal Form 4473, did you notice how they identified the Pistol, either new or used? If he falsified the information on the 4473, he may have just jeopardized his FFL. \n\nIf I remember correctly, you are in Virginia. What I would suggest ... \n\nFirst, check in the "tupperware case" for a product registration card. (By the way, the Glocks typically come in a "tupperware" style box the color of the pistol, with a peg in it to hold the pistol in place at the trigger guard.)\n\nSecond, if the product registration card is not there, either e-mail Glock at: sales@usglock.com or call them directly and tell them that you just purchased a Model 19 as new, but the product registration card was missing, and you want to register your pistol as the original owner to take advantage of the warranty. \n\nThird, if they are hesitant, ask if you are in fact the original registered owner for that pistol/serial number. You should get an honest answer. \n\nFourth, if you are told that you are not the original owner, or Glock will not help you, call the Headquarters of the Virginia State Police, and ask to speak to the section that oversees or licenses gun dealers in Virginia. You may start a fire storm ... but you did purchase your handgun as new, and if you were defrauded, you are entitled to legal recourse!\n\nGood luck!

I can't give you information about any of these, but I can give you two pieces of advice:\n\n1) There's an excellent book out there by S.P. Fjestad called "Blue Book of Gun Values" that will tell you exactly what to ask for each of these firearms. Click the Amazon link below for more information on the book.\n\n2) Without a serial number any gun is worthless. That is, it's a violation of federal law to sell such a firearm to another individual. If you're ever interested in selling such a firearm, your first step will be to visit your local BATFE office with the firearm in a case. They will be happy to stamp a serial number of your choice into the frame/receiver, after grilling you as to how you came into posession of an unnumbered firearm. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP if you ever sell the guns!

Bound's hubby here:\n\nYour only hope is either...\n1) find the receipt for your guns or\n2) go to the stores where you purchased them. \n\nChances are very good you will not be able to get the serial numbers through law enforcement. Without recording your numbers or being able to get the serial numbers you are up the proverbial creek without a paddle. \n\nGood luck.

I got my 30-06 brand new with a wood stock so I am sure they are out there. Check with a gunsmith shop or even at gunshows and you should be able to find them. Another place to look is ebay.com

Value can depend on the person willing to pay for it. You can look at prices in a magazine or book for years and the prices they print will be ill relevant. The revolver is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Have it authenticated and documentation to prove it is that old. You can contact S and W to run the serial number to see how old it really is. Good Luck!

I would look for your model of rifle under gunbroker.com or gunsamerica.com to see if any like yours pop up. If so, more than likely it will tell when it was made and a value.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nWhile checking the serial number can give you a definite answer, there is actually a "fast-track" method to gain an idea if you rifle is pre-'64 or post-'64. \n\nThe big difference that separates pre- and post- '64 Model '94 rifles is the manufacturing process and the fit of the parts. Pre-'64 rifles generally were hand-fitted and "tighter". Post-'64 rifles were machined for a drop-in fit and are "looser". If you hold your rifle, one hand on the fore-arm, and one on the wrist of the stock, shake the rifle and listen ... if there is a noticeable rattle, you have a post-'64 rifle ... if the rifle is relatively silent, you have a pre-'64 rifle.\n\nAs odd as this may sound, it does hold true. I have a early depression era Model '94 ... shake it and it is quiet! Some of the post-'64s I have handled makes me wonder why deer don't hear the hunter coming, just due to the rifle alone!\n\nGood luck!
