What's the date of manufacture from serial numbers

Bil,
Thanks for info. It does sound reasonable and logical.
Cheers.

PS I believe we are fortunate we have these Repro's, especialy in the smaller gauges, Last time I looked, an original DHE 28 in good shape was asking $28,230.00 for it, way above my budget. Even if I could aford it, it would probably be a safe queen !

Here's a pic of the trifold brochure introducing the 28-ga. Repro that Bill mentioned. I also believe that it was introduced in 1986.
