I have tried the Browning serial number lookup website and I can't figure this out. I have what looks like a mid-60's HP with a seven digit serial number.

Can anyone tell me what I have?

Looks like 1974.

Between 1969 and 1975 the first two numbers (e.g. 74) in the serial number represented the year of manufacture.

1974 "C" series
Nice!

Thank you. I just realized that the third digit is a C and not a 0.

What do you think something like this may be worth? I have a few Hi Powers and I'm thinking about selling it.

Thanks again!

That appears to be in exceptional condition for 46/47 year old bhp and will get considerably more if you have the pouch and box that it came with originally. Minimum $1200/$1500 I would think and more if you have the accessories.
