22 LR rev 30198

This would be a Model of 1953 .22/32 Kit Gun, probably made in 1957, possibly shipped in 1958.

357 hwy Patrolman N257242

Made c. 1976. N prefix serials can be quite tricky, and you can't simply depend on the brackets given in the Standard Catalog. But this is probably close.

38 sp airweigh J158757

Made c. 1973-74.

Keep in mind that we can give only estimates, based on other shipments. Only a letter can provide certainty.
