Pistol how old

Hi guys is there any way I can determine how old my Gamo Compact is, just out of curiosity.

I think this is one of those nobody knows answers.

Over the years, the length of the trigger screw has been shortened, the mechanism cover (under the grip, but still visible next to the trigger guard) has gone from clear to opaque, the writing style stamped onto the steel frame had changed.

I got mine in around 1986/87.

Kind regards,

kj68,

My Gamo Compact has written on the side, 04-4C-014529-96, could the 96 be year of manufacture?

Hi David not to sure the 96 could be the year it was made, any way how are you liking yr compact mate. I absolutely love mine and use it in comps against the new pre charge pistol.
