Theres a lengthy thread on the MLF that discusses serial numbers and where a bunch of people stated their recollections of when they purchased their guns. Some recollections may be faulty. Theres also mention of some characteristics such as markings on the barrel, and whether there was a warning on the barrel or not.

It has a steel case hardened trigger guard and butt plate.
