O.K all you Colt experts I need some more advice. I need to know how to identify what year a Colt Super 38 Auto was made. It is not listed in my copy of the blue book. It does not have a C marking in the number series and it does not have US Govt. on it. I don't know how to identify what year it was manufacred.
Thanks

  These are serial numbered and the serial number can be used to determine the year of manufacture.

  Well not to be a pain but here are the first 3 numbers. 188xxx so according to what you said about the numbers up to 1968 it should fall in that range as its lower than 202xxx. and 69 /70 had the C Thanks for the info as my blue book doesn't show the actual number series on these [or I am missing something] so didn't really know what year it was made.
