Dating a Baby Browning?

[CanAm]

I just picked one of these up NIB. Looks to be made after 69 as the sn does not jive with Browning USA site. Does anyone have a list for post 69 guns?

Nope. I'm a one-gun man. My 1911 will get jealous.

Helpful as usual.

Go to the Browning North America web site,click on customer service,look for dating firearms,and the baby browning will be there

only up to 69

 

[sevoman]

Oops,missed the 1969 bit.I looked at proofhouse.com,they also only list baby brownings upto 1969,were they actually made after this year?

 

[CanAm]

Yes, apparently well into the 80's. I believe mine is late 70's. It has letters in the S/N.

Cool, I never knew about that site, just checked mine It turns out to be a 1968 I always thought it was from the 70's.
Got it from a guy years ago before Bill C68 so it give me 12-6

Hey canam......
