We need the serial number off the bottom of the butt.

Yes, but you need to give us the serial number in order to do that. You can X out the last couple digits if you like.

thank you for the date. it is so nice i want to put it in the safe but i'm 67 and want to carry it around the homested and shoot it a good bit. how do you get over the fear of ware and tear?
thanks dave

Just wipe it off with a good rust preventative rag (RIG is good) and it's not going to wear appreciably. Shooting it certainly won't harm it. I have one that I don't baby and it looks as good as new. Enjoy it.
