    HW90/Theoben identification help please

    I have a lovely HW90 in what to me looks like a CS800 stock. It has a barrel longer than the current carbine with a grub screw attached Theoben Evo silencer (without the Vortex tip - if anyone has one......please!). I cannot for the life of me find a serial number on it, as I had a notion to use the WH database. on the r/h breech block there is 'Weihrauch', then Made in Germany, then Theoben, on the l/h is HW90K with the cal. .177/4.5mm and the two figurative pellets, absolutely nothing on the cylinder! Any thoughts, info welcome. Shoots absolutely beautifully at 11.6 with Webley Mosquito 7.87 grains.

    Can be various places if its not an early one then but as hw777 said, Normally in front of the block.
    First ones from theoben where on the bottom of the block by the cocking linkage slot,
    Next was on the tube itself on the left just beside the hinge bolt,
    if it has Hull Cartridge on left side of barrel just in front of the block then the serial number is directly below,

    Usually easily legible and well stamped or engraved on all rifles, Replacement barrel wont have a stamp on it as i know Ben changed a few later ones back to the original BSA barrels for customers.. Col.
