Birth Year Guns

[Doug627]

How many of you have birth year guns? I'm looking at a Pre-14 made in October of 1957. My month and year of birth. I have looked for quite some time before finding one. What about you?

Birth Year M-1 Carbine

Fun question! I waited for some years to find a
Saginaw carbine that appeared the same time as
I did. Both made in Michigan!

 

[brjr51]

Yep, still looking for my Jan. 60 revolver to show up. Not real particular about the model or barrel length, just has to be .38 or .357.
I’ll know the right one when I find it.

I got a 1941 Luger.....
We are both in the same shape.....
But the Luger will out last me I'm sure!

 

[Old cop]

I’m not sure they made guns back then . . . .

My K-22 is birth year, birth month and just missed birth day by 4 days. Plus, it shipped to my birth state of Ohio. That's close enough for me

 

[Jebus35745]

Recently bought a Pre-17, we both left the factory the same month and year. It was January 1951. Larry

I’m not sure they made guns back then . . . .

Guess I'm in the same boat. I wonder when gun powder was invented?? I know we already had dirt when I came along but I'm not sure about anything else.....

K 22 LERK... Year and month

October 1947

 

[Golddollar]

I used to have a Russian SKS carbine that was marked 1952, so it came off the assembly line the same year I did. I sold it when I lost my job back in 2009 and now I'm kind of sorry I did, but at the time I didn't know when I'd be getting another job.

 

[29aholic]

Well, I'll tell you I looked for a 1966 shipped 29 forever. We know of two

 

[arjay]

‘54 Ruger Standard
The S&W cm 22 is a ‘52

 

[CajunBass]

I passed up a 1952 38 S&W Terrier, with a factory letter a few years back. They just liked it more than I did.

I've owned 51's, and 53's. I've got two 54's now. I've never seen another 52.

August 1952.

Approximately

I have a Model 40 Centennial that may be.

 

[old bear]

Don't have a birth year gun. I do though have a model 66 that was produced on my birth month and day.

Model 14-1

Mines a Model 14-1 K-38 Target Masterpiece from 1961. I don’t know how close it is to my birthday, Dec. 31, but the s/n puts it solidly in ‘61 and I think all 14-1’s are in ‘61. Now I’m curious to find out.

 

[Lee Barner]

I have a K-22, K-38, 5" M&P, Colt Gov't Model, Marlin 336A in 30-30, and a Marlin Golden 39A all from 1950, my birth year. some were sought after and some just happened. lee

 

[625-7]

Well

We're showing our age here aren't we! got a 37 flat latch dash nuttin. Serial should be late 1960. Me, I'm real early 1960! Anybody got a closer date, #1950xx?

 

[Walter Rego]

I have three birth year guns, all purchased with no idea of the manufacturing or shipping dates so it was just blind luck. I have a Browning P35 that was proofed in the same trimester that I was born, an S&W pre-Model 14 K38 Masterpiece that shipped 2 days before I was born and an S&W pre-Model 34 Kit Gun that shipped the month before I was born.

 

[Chuck24]

Would love to find something nice from November of 53 or even just 1953. I assume a birth day gun is impossible since I was born on thanksgiving

 

[les.b]

Mine would probably be a flintlock.

Best Regards, Les

 

[RudyN]

I do have a birth year gun, however it is a M1 Garand from WWII (1943).

K22,
birth year,
birth month,
and,
birth day.

We were both delivered from our respective factories on the same date.

Roy can't confirm the actual time of day... Ha.

enjoy,

K 22 LERK... Year and month

October 1947

Not sure the month but K22 from 1955. It's in way better shape than I am.

OCD: Old Chiefs Disease

Okay, I'll admit to being a bit OCD.

I'm still in search of a Baby Chiefs that shipped in my birth month.

I think the factory's shipping department must have taken June off in 1952, but I've been lucky enough to find others from that year.

Aim for the day before, 'cause that's when most folks start cookin'.

Bad luck, New Year's Eve 1961 was a Sunday.

 

[Old 44 Guy]

Many years back I bought a Colt Woodsman. I found out later it was from 1930. Hell, it's a year older than I am. Best 27 bucks I ever spent. The box is toast, the gun is 98%.
