claims that there are no markings on the right side of the frame other than the SN.
made frame and slide, that no import mark is required. I'm not sure if you were referencing my post or not but I used a slash (/) to differentiate between an import mark and a manufacturer's mark. I don't see anything unusual about the markings, or lack of markings, on this gun.
#Sig p226 serial number serial number#
The manufacturer, SIGARMS, is also marked on the left side of the frame so I don't know what markings would be on the right side except for the serial number on the frame. Early SIG stainless steel slides were stamped "Stainless", like on the left side of the OP's, to differentiate them from the pistols with the stamped carbon steel slides that SIG was still making at the time. and stainless steel slides were also made here, there would be no need for any import marks. I guess I may be missing something, but since the "UU" serial number indicates the frame was made in the U.S. Depending on what you are looking for this may not be a bad thing. date you could check the grip plate date codes.although grips are easily swapped.Īlso, keep in mind that it's possible that the frame and slide were mated together from different guns and may not be original to each other. I was more commenting on the fact that in your original post, as there were no pictures, a more helpful description would have included the fact that it was a non-rail gun, as well as a short extractor slide.but having a good pic that was hyperlinked would have been helpful also as it took me 15 minutes to copy the link on my crappy small screen phone just to see the pic.Īlthough far from being 100% accurate, if you are dead set on nailing down the mfr. made frames from this era so maybe that was the format at that time. Over the years I seem to recall seeing a couple P226 with the frame markings on the left side of the frame but I don't have any experience with U.S. (And I'll work on placing images on this forum better.
If he's OK with showing the number I'll post the other side or 'shop it out. He said he'll check it with a magnet when he gets home tonight so at least we can see that. Just the serial number in the usual place. Posts: 5974 | Location: the Centennial state | Registered: August 21, 2006īut, yes, no roll mark on the frame. (assuming it is not refinished) the Nitron finish (slide) from this era tends to be hard and, aesthetically speaking, I prefer its smooth texture.but sometimes the Nitron is too hard.you want to inspect the barrel finish and smilies closely, in addition to the frame rails I recently tried to sell a nice German framed P226 on the forum that was from that vintage, almost a mirror image to the one pictured, but no takers and I sold it locally.Īlthough not without any flaws I've owned enough P226 from various eras to believe that the ones from this era tend to have good machining and show fewer tool marks that are less pronounced. We don't have a good list for UU guns but I think 1998 is a good ball park date. You say the right side doesn't have any markings but I would think that in addition to the SN it should have the mfr./ import mark, something along the lines of SIGARMS INC EXETER NH. Can't be certain from the pic but the grip plates appear to be stippled. I can't be certain without more info but would assume it is a standard alloy frame. What you have there is an early non-rail P226 with a stainless steel slide. A friendly reminder that if you want good info you need to provide good info. Your picture isn't posting properly but I was able to use your (non-hyperlinked) URL to see the pic. What year? 1998 or so? Early UU? I'll have to ask him to try the magnet if he can. Right side has no markings on frame or slide other than the UU603XXX serial to indicate USA made frame.
