One thing that seems to be confusing you is the model designation. The model H, or H-Series was introduced in 1982. The model H9, or H9-Series, was introduced in 1991. All the Benjamin/Sheridan models had design changes in 1991 and the "9" was added to the model designation. The new models also started with a new serial number range having the same 6-digit format of previous models, which causes some confusion. The serial number format was changed in 1992.
Hey, what about the original Racine made H series pistols ?You do know there's the model H pistols, then the crosman made H9 pistols right ?
Jumping the Shark is the moment when an established long-running series changes in a significant manner in an attempt to stay fresh. Ironically, that moment makes the viewers realize that the show's finally run out of ideas. It's reached its peak, it'll never be the same again, and from now on it's all downhill.

To summarize what Billy posted who is pretty much an authority;- The H (HB) was introduced by Sheridan in '82 & ran thru '90. Mostly all blk with a few customs in nickel.- In '90 the Sheridan E was offered in nickel.- In '91 Benjamin & Sheridan consolidated & offered the H9 which ran thru '93.- It wasn't until '94 that Crosman entered the picture & offered the H9A.
