  If it has German Proof Marks? One of them will be a coded date. Usually for guns made during the last 30 years. They will be in the format of two capital letters.

  Go to the Anschutz GB website.
  
  
  here is a c&p of some of it.
  
  
  
  ""Does ANSCH?TZ give information on the production year of firearms?
  
  Answer:
  We need a lot of time to determine the age of a firearm with the help of the serial number. This is the reason why we only give this information to authorities or for a fee. However, every firearm owner can determine the approximate age of his gun with the help of the proof house stamp on the barrel of our firearms. The production years mentioned below are only approximate values and only mirror the common procedure representative for the referring period. Exeptions are possible. It might therefore be that even after the year 1968 there is only the production year imprinted on the barrel but no code.
  
  
  Various proof test stamps (approximate year)
  
  Up to approx. 1958 only the proof test stamp and the kind of ammunition was imprinted on the barrel.
  
  From approx. 1958 to approx. 1968 apart from the proof test stamp also the last two digits of the referring year were imprinted on the barrel.
  
  Since approx. 1968 the year of manufacture is coded. The code for determining the age is as follows:
  0=A; 1=B; 2=C; 3=D, 4=E; 5=F; 6=G; 7=H; 8=I/J; 9=K
  The year of proof testing is described by the last two digits of a year, i. e. that a firearm with the letters AF was officially proof tested in the year 2005 (05). ""
