JohnfromUK Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) AyA either the proof marks - or e mail AyA at aya@aya-fineguns.com and give them the serial number. There used to be a wonderful lady there called Carmen who answered by return, but I hear she has now retired ........ but the service continues.

Sako7mm Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 I’m always rather nonplussed at these ‘How old’s me gun’ threads. With mass produced guns such as these, with the best will in the world, what odds does it make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 As stated above for AYA guns. For Sabatti, if you google 'Year of manufacture for Italian firearms' it will have a table giving a two letter date code that will be found normally on the barrel flats i.e BA for 1991 to BZ for 2005 Then CA for 2006, CB for 2007 etc. These are proof dates apparently not necessarily manufacture dates but should be near enough to assume date of manufacture. Hope this helps. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google "aya serial number age".... There is a link above (repeated below). It's a new thing to me to have to pay, but I had heard that Carmen - who supplied data (free) for many years had retired. 21 hours ago, JohnfromUK said: Also chart here http://www.shotguns.se/html/aya_serial_numbers.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
