If you do a search on the HKPro forum for "P7 date code" you will find this thread.




HK P7 PSP M8 M10 M13 Serial Number List and associated manufacture/import years
If you have any information to contribute for any HK P7 models, please post it in this thread, and I'll make the appropriate additions.

Thanks to this forum, I purchased my first HK pistol, a P7....which has subsequently led to a healthy obsession with various models, mainly P7 PSP's.

After many purchases, and gleaning much information from fellow friends, forum members posts and the internet, I've compiled a fairly decent list of serial numbers and their related dates of import and/or manufacture, and hope this helps those who may be looking for such answers/information.

If there are two X's instead of the date code, it's because I was never able to confirm what the actual stamp was or there was not one to begin with.

In some cases I've omitted complete serial numbers for those who prefer not to disclose it.

DATES of Importation:
Based on my research and in talking with the folks at HK, this is an approximate time-line for importation designations.
Arlington, VA --------- 75 to 83
Chantilly, VA ---------- 84-88
Sterling, VA ----------- 88 to 2004
Trussville, AL --------- 2004 to 6/2008 (Imported by Merkel, Inc.)
Columbus, GA -------- 6/2008 to Present Day

Thanks you Mattducati. From what I see, my gun, 86XX was made in 1979. I hope that is correct.

I bought #8469 from a guy that knows more about HK than anyone I've ever met. He told me that it was a 1980. Going by your serial number, I would guess that yours is also a 1980.
