Hi Smoothbore
On the rifle, look on the cylinder (L/H side) close to the stock immediately above the trigger guard and there should be a date in very small stampings..
I can't remember when they first started putting the date on though so if it's not there then it's really old

Original 50 date stamping started during 1966
Cheers
Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
