Second, many postings spoke of a purchase date but not of test target dates. So any edited serial numbers have been disregarded. While the need to preserve one's privacy is understandable, this unfortunately also creates incomplete data, and therefore cannot be used. So, I took the liberty of not only going through the thread in detail but also organizing the useful data.įirst, please be aware there are many more serial numbers than the samples below on the Sticky thread, but the posters chose to "edit" their serial numbers by not supplying the full number. Unfortunately, that sticky has been hijacked into oblivion by so many random posts that it's a chore to weed through. Thankfully, Searcher got a Sticky thread started a while ago for those of us lucky enough to have the test target with a date on it to post our serial numbers and date of manufacture so others may gain an idea when their pistol might have been built. Some did not come with it having been lost to time or changing too many hands, some have incomplete dates on them (day and month but no year), and still others (like mine) come with the test paper but with no date written on it at all. The only way to know is by observing the test target paper that may or may not have come with your pistol. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell when your particular Interarms was born by any observation of the markings on the pistol. All of us know about the mystery of the dates of manufacture in regard to our beloved Interarms PPK and PPK/S pistols.
