Are there any records or way to date the Farmingdale rifles? Mine has a four-digit serial number, the Wolf mark and pretty sure a Badger barrel.

I'm pretty sure the records for those are fairly sketchy.
I've seen some comments on the Shiloh forum from guys that knew that history firsthand. You might check there to get a ballpark idea.
I remember reading somewhere that after or during the move there was some water damage in one of the trailers and that messed up a lot of papers.

I'm told that the 1987 Gun Digest has some information. I'll see what I find and share.
