Colt Born on Date

[Billy Sparks]

I know that there is a way to find out via serial numbers the date is was made and where it was shipped. Where do you send the request to or who do you send it to?

You can call Colt or you can post the serial number here and someone might can look it up for you (depending on how new the gun is).

If it was made prior to 1975, you can find it here:

If you can't get the info at proofhouse, Colt will give you year of manufacture over the phone for free:

For shipping info, finish, grips, etc, you'll have to get a factory letter, which will cost you.
