How old is that gun?

[Woody Williams]

The NRA website has a compendium of serial numbers for various guns and years produced. Might be of interest if you picked up an old Browning 16 with an X prefix, which you won't find listed on Browning's site.

Fantastic; I have a shot at pinning down my grandfather's L.C. Smith double now; been trying to find out for along time. Thank you for the link!

Dad was guessing 1915-1920; looks like it was made in 1911 so it's over 100 years old.
