GingerCat Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 I've seen it listed on here somewhere. I'm no good at finding old posts but it helped me age mine, tried Google? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 Spanish proof marks date codes are included on this page. https://www.shotguns.se/html/spain.html I don't recall seeing a Lanber serial number versus date table anywhere.

old man Posted November 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Finally from the action. 13-03-*****-99-12.76? so far Lanber-shotgun-*****-?-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 If it is 1976, there older style proof date code should also be there I think. The photo shows my AyA. The V1 at the left side of the barrel flats is the date code for 1977. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very, very feint and pushed for time at moment. Chromed, single trigger and 3" chamber. Edited November 17, 2023 by old man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 The 76 is the chamber length after 12 for the bore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
