welshwarrior Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 There should be a 2 letter date code on it li AB or BZ with the proof marks that will give you the date it was proofed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Yep look up spanish proof marks and date codes http://www.shotguns.se/html/spain.html If its post 95 its in serial number should tell you (should start 13-03-XXX-YY) YY being year... Looks like it may be pre 96 Edited April 4, 2014 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Mine has identical engraving, multi chokes and 70mm chambers with Manuel safety, made 2003; not sure of the model but think it's a sporter delux. The serial number under the lever will tell the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbybox Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Have a wee look at the link below, I used it to identify the rough age of mine and it's an 844EST. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=wAFGGOZRi2kC&pg=PT1642&lpg=PT1642&dq=lanber+model+844&source=bl&ots=RopAbI0cPy&sig=sw0KltN7y9mKaHMPfp8QOenk0SU&hl=en&sa=X&ei=9GFAU6rpJ4eUhQeBjIDwBg&ved=0CEcQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=lanber%20model%20844&f=false My action is similar to yours but the engraving is different so I assume yours is newer perhaps? See photo of engraving below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
