2436 SERIALIZATIOSN ERIALIZATION
This section has once again been expanded to help you identify the year of manufacture on many popular manufacturers and trademarks. To use these tables, compare your serial number(s) to the correct manufacturer and model, and ascertain which bracket it falls into based on the year of manufacture and corresponding serial number. In several cases, caliber rarity can also be determined. Date codes are now also provided on some manufacturers and countries to allow you to determine the year of manufacture by the date code on the barrel or frame/receiver.
The publisher wishes to thank Galazan's and Dixie Gun Works for providing a portion of this serialization information.

Beginning 1995 the Spanish proof house implemented a new serial number system. The new system consists of four sets of digits separated by a hyphen. The first set is the manufacturers code, the second designates the type of firearm, the third set is the firearms chronological number, the fourth set shows the year of mfg.
