DOB's for Model 58 and 1917

[Roper589]

I recently bought a M58, Serial # N153578 and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea when it was made. I also have a 1917 Serial # 107385, same question. Thanks

Roper,

The M58 was made in 1973.

Can't be of much help with the 1917, all I can tell you is that according to the SCSW 163,600 were made for the Army between 1917 and early 1919. The serial number range for these guns was 1 - 169959. Assuming linear production, yours was most likely made in 1918, but that is a guess. Is there a U.S. ordnance flaming bomb mark on the left side of the frame in front of the hammer?

Good Luck...

Thanks for the quick reply and the info. Re the 1917, yes it does have the flaming bomb mark.
