More Date and Proof Info

I've added a bit to the page about dating your gun. No, not a serial number lookup table. But there are a few oddities to add. One is an explanatory piece of paper I got forwarded that refers to a post-1995 system where serial numbers are in this code which includes dates. I see no evidence, but check your gun and see if it works.

The other is, apparently, a pistol with the date (month and year) in plain text.



I've also noticed that I don't say anywhere on the page the proofs can be hidden. So, now that's added. I wondered why everyone emailed asking how to find them. Well, I guess just because I know something doesn't mean I remembered to add it to the page and tell you guys. Oops.

Check it all out here:

    THIS INSCRIPTION SAY:
    "To YOAV (male name) from station 64" and it is
    probably a present around police activities,
    a member of the staff or a civilian volunteer.
    STAR pistols were very popular here un the 60's,
    brand new or military surplus, most in 9mm Par.,
    and some in the smaller calibers.
