To help and not help a bit more.

You can tell approx age by the type of magazines, i.e. wood bottoms were used until about the mid-1920's, then alumnimum was used, then later the black plastic.

You can get a VERY rough guess by serial number, as many years used the same serial number and suffix.

There should be a web page that shows the many types.

If folks send me pictures of as many types as they have, I will collate and make a webpage on this.
