    Fwb 80 serial numbers

    Afternoon all,

    I have an FWB80 and I was just wondering what the earliest know serial number is?

    Google research comes up with the same quoted numbers from 1978 yet they were made from 77.

    What numbers have you got? Mine is 207808

    Thanks!

    Feinwerkbau kindly replied

    The year of production of your air pistol model 80ß with serial number 207808 is 1977.
    The production of model 80 started in April 1977 with serial number 200000.

    hi
    I have a fwb65 (78560) & a fwb80 (222038)
    I have no information on them at the moment. the 80 looks to be in brand new condition.

    Can you share the email address you used ? I will then send in a bulk question for all my FWB collection so far.

    I thought I gave you that info when I sold it to you.

    I emailed FWB customer support who kindly gave me the date of manufacture.

    Hi, recently purchased a Model 80 and the serial number is 207020, I presume this was manufactured in 1977?
