    I found this for you

    Prior to 1975 you are not able to determine the date of manufacture by the serial number. Prior to 1992 we have information that, while missing some years, may be helpful to you in determining the age of your gun.

    If your gun was manufactured in or after the year 1992 then the first 3 or 4 digits of the serial number will allow you to determine when your gun was manufactured. If the first 3 or 4 digits of your serial number are 1294 or D94, then your gun was made in December of 1994. The charts below will help you determine when your product was manufactured.

    It would appear that Greasemonkey's 1300 was made prior to July 1975

    They are very easy to repair.

    If your pumphead is OK and your inlet valve seals, it's just a case of fitting new O rings.
    You can use a metric sized O ring in the exhaust valve instead of a quad seal.

    All the best Mick

    Hi Greasemonkey

    Don't forget to polish the back of part number 130A017

    http://www.crosman.com/pdf/manuals/c.../C1300-EVP.pdf

    It makes a very BIG difference to the trigger pull

    That's why they changed to a knock open exhaust valve on the 1322 and 1377.
