Title: Sheridan model determination
Post by: TennTex on October 08, 2015, 03:29:15 PM

I own a 1979 Sheridan Model C, Serial # 299051.  Original owner.   The booklet that came with it (pictured below) says "Blue Streak", "Silver Streak".   Is there a difference between the Blue and Silver?  If so, how do I tell?

Other than the color, I don't think there's a difference.

Silver streak is nickel plated, Blue streak is not.

Great.  Thanks try5-ron, and 39M!   Makes sense now.   Never have seen the silver one.   Mine is a Blue Streak then.

As noted ... outside of the nickel plating that makes a Silver .... absolutely the same action mechanically.
