I have a new William Parker pistol and would like to know what year it was made? Is a serial number list available that would tell the date? Thanks in advance
 
Should be a proof lettered stamp on the barrel. Someone here will have the table to tell you what year it was made.
 
"Should be a proof lettered stamp on the barrel. Someone here will have the table to tell you what year it was made."

On the barrel there will be a "square box", inside the box will be 2 "letters"., i.e. CF. With the chart, that will tell you the year it was made.

14-13-075125-07 is the serial number, there is not a chart that will tell you the year based on the serial number.
 
If it is a Spanish gun it is 2007. The last 2 digits on Spanish guns is the date code. 1st 2 is the maker, next 2 type of gun(13 is muzzleloader) and the long number is the serial number for the year. You can look up "spanish date codes" on the web
 
Everyone a great thanks! I searched the www via google and only found one dealer that had one in stock. And that dealer was one I had done business with many years ago. They were and are great people to deal with. That also tells me that my new Trapper was made in 2021.
