Hi I have an old Original 50 with a superb dark chequerd wood stock and a nice Original 5 pistol with wooden grips , can anyone advise on a date of manufacture for these .
Thankyou

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

According to Hiller, the wooden grip pistol was made from August 1958 to 1960.

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

And I don't believe any manufacturer fitted scope rails until BSA beat the market in 1959. so that dates your rifle within about six years. Dunno when Original fitted rails?Ahh haa , so pre 66 then, Thats interesting. many thaks for the info.
