Answer: Not BJ

I thought SIG does not include the "I" in their date codes. But, there it is.

???

I see the DE designation for Germany and the CIP for "Commission internationale permanente" as well as the proof house marks but I do not see any date code.

Am I looking at the wrong thing?

It's the 'BI'....Right next to the Kiel Proof mark, except in this case 'BI' = 18 Wink

I guess that means you won't get a BJ until next year.

12131 Do you think someone at the factory accidently put the wrong date code on the barrel. What pistol did that come out of.

So:

BI = 2018
BH = 2017
BG = 2016
BF = 2015
BE = 2014
Etc. ?

If so, glad to know that. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks.

Looks like a numeral or other mark when viewed on my monitor (even at 800%).

Don't know. If someone else has a 2018 German SIG with a BJ date code, then your theory is true.

This belongs on an X6 PPC.
