My neighbor has one with serial number W053544. I was wondering also since the chart does not list numbers starting with W.
I know it was made in Racine, Wisconsin. I was told later ones were made in NY, and were built differently. Special tools are needed for early Wisconsin guns disassembly.

W140309 would be late 1993 production. Starting sometime I think early 1992, the Racine C9 guns started receiving a W prefix to their serial number. Production ended in racine by the end of November 1993 and the latest serial number I've seen is W164xxx, so yours would be near the end of the racine production. Can I ask you - does your gun say 'silver streak' or 'blue streak' on the right side of the receiver tube near the muzzle. Sometime near the end of production, they stopped stamping this on the guns.
ESully, I think I already responded to your question about your neighbors W053544 - that gun would probably be earlyish 1992.

Flint I applaud you're research and efforts to help us all identify these guns. You've helped me nail down the ages of all mine and I appreciate that greatly. Keep up the good work.

Blue streak is on the tube. Crosman says the serial number was for 1975 where is the difference coming from ? the trigger is just a steel loop not the crossbolt safety type.

The serial number list on the crosman site is for the Sheridan model C guns. Your gun is the Sheridan model C9 which was introduced in 1991 and made in racine until the end of 1993. Thanks for letting me know that your gun in still stamped 'blue streak'.
John, no problem, its been a lot of fun for me! I love these guns!

Its like new completely refurbished with the optional two piece dovetail mount. I paid $125 for it. I feel I scored on this one my first .20 cal.

Flint, do you have any links on those serial numbers with a w that you are willing to share? I love these guns to, I have a 1968 Blue Streak.

No, this information simply does not exist online. there are no links. I've spent months accumulating this information from old newspaper articles, airgun magazine articles, manuals, catalogs, and then looking at literally hundreds of new and old airgun auctions/sales. I'm hoping to figure out a way to publish this information online so that its available to the public and so I can continue to fine tune the timeline.
