Date of Manufacture Request

[ramprat]

This site has very knowledgeable members with a vast amont of resources at hand. I just won a Model 30-1 on GB with serial # H 52238. Can anyone give me an approximate date of manufacture? Thanks in advance for any knowledge shared.

Probably 1972, possibly 1971.

Thanks for the prompt reply JP@AK. In your estimation, would this handgun qualify as a Curio & Relic under the BATFE's "fifty year' rule?
Thanks,
Gary

The only requirement is that the firearm in question be 50 or more years old.

This revolver qualifies.

Thanks Frailer.
Now I have to convince the selling FFL. Either way, I feel I got a good deal on a handgun I've been wanting to add to the collection for some time.
