Dunkield Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 There is date code under the top lever(?) anyways it can be done, I looked up my 687 once and frightened myself how old it is. I will see if I can find the decoder, if no one else can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixer1 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Would this also apply to a Lincoln 20b (as it's italian) Regards, Gixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 This date code chart is for all Italian proofed shotguns , But do not look at any letters included in the serial number only the one's with the proof marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
