Sig P220 Date Of Manufactureįurther theorizing (and I'm really going out on a limb here) is that Sig Sauer did not have reason to adhere to Brownings serial number coding and made them up in whatever caliber needed at the time, 7.65 Para to satisfy demand from Italy. 45 serials left over and they were completed by Sig Sauer as P220 with new slides and barrels matched to those frames. My theory is that after the importation by Browning ended there were some frames with BDA. I wonder if the 396 prefix on the first is a typo. Sig P220 Serial Number Lookup395RP7377 JA 7.65mm Para (posted by Ken* on 8/28/14 in Serial Number List thread)ģ95RP7381 falls in between them. Here are 2 othes I've found.ģ96RP7396 JA 7.65 = Thanks to Dusty Dave (in Serial Number List) There seems to be a small run of these P220 in 7.65 with Browning serial numbers. So, not only does that serial number not belong on that pistol because it's not a SIG serial number, it really doesn't belong because it's a serial number for a different caliber.ĭo you happen to know the proof date on this pistol? The serial number suggests 1978, but as I've stated, the serial number is extra super wrong. Your slide shows a serial number beginning with 395RP, which should be a 45 ACP BDA made in 1978. Each of these three calibers had their own serial number prefix 345 for 9mm, 375 for 38 Super, and 395 for 45 ACP. BDAs were offered in three calibers 45 ACP, 9x19mm and 38 Super.

The proof house in Koln (Cologne), Germany also follows this format. Just to keep things interesting, SIG Sauer chose not to use the letter I because it looked too much like the numeral 1, so J 8 in SIG speak. That’s why it’s possible to find SIG Sauer pistols marked “Made in W. German gun manufacturers used these letters in place of numbers for date codes. Germany” through Octowhich is exactly what they did. If you have been looking for an investment-worthy Sig Sauer P226 here is your chance to get one of the best we have had in many years. That made it legal for SIG Sauer to continue producing and exporting products marked “Made in W. So when the 1990 Reunification Treaty was ratified, the German government allowed West German manufacturers to continue referring to their products as “West German-made” for a 5 year transition period. As part of the 1990 Reunification Treaty negotiations, West German manufacturers expressed major concerns about diluting their reputation for “West German quality” as a result of the flailing former East German economy and manufacturing sector (famous for bringing you such manufacturing missteps as the Trabant) combining with theirs under a common market and currency.
