Anyone with a link to the S/N lookup for Walther LP53, other

I have an LP53. The factory target is dated 18/8/58, and the serial number is 030806. The target indicates 1958 manufacture, but I would like to verify.

According to my info, the date on your test target would be a very accurate representation of the manufacture/dispatch date.
"S/N - 025734 : Jan 1958 through S/N - 033105 : Dec 1958".
The barrel weight would have been a later addition.

I will add the pic that you posted and the serial number to my database. Thank you.

Surely the factory test target date must be the most precise record you'll find for your pistol?
