Cooey model 84

Anyone out there know where to find the serial numbers for the Cooey model 84 20 gauge?

They never had serial numbers until Later in production as a 840 when Winchester took them over.

Well, I just checked 3 of my model 84's (not Winchester guns) and they all have a serial number on the right side of the receiver.

the Cooey model 84 had serial numbers on the right side of the receiver for the first few years of production.
it is stamped on in big numbers. also on the right side it says H.W.Cooey Machine&Arms CO. LTD.

Yeah mine has serial numbers as well but I don't think anybody has a record of them anywhere

Right hand side of the receiver. On the under side of the barrel once you remove the forestock. And beneath the buttplate.

I'm not 100% positive but I think all the Cooey 84's had serial numbers. The size of the numbers and location varied. I have one receiver that has the stamping in fairly big numbers and is more in the center of the receiver. Then I have a few where the numbers are smaller and are located toward the bottom rear of the receiver on the right side. I believe the shotguns are the only Cooeys that had serial numbers.

Some were never serial numbered, legislation changes. All records of the number were lost when the company burned down under the Olin corporation control. Then they moved on, hummmmm. Another tidbit, if the butt stock is original to the gun it too will be stamped with the guns serial number under the butt plate.
