[colo-pr]

Hi Folks,

Im completely newbie in C&R, i just start my collection weeks ago and I'm looking for some info or resources to know the dates of the production of my firearms and a little bit of info, Im planning to build a Personal Concrete Safe/Museum and i want to put some info and year of production in a certificate bellow every firearm.

Until now i just have a:

Steyr M95
Mauser Siamese
Colt 1911 Military Property

General internet searches can be productive and folks here are a wealth of information.
Serial numbers are essential for an accurate search, no need to post the entire number. Leave the last 3-4 digits in X form ex. 5527XXX.
Condition begets value.

Here is some info, maybe just a starting point on the Steyr, apparently they are hard to date because of all of the forgery with them
