Guessing late 80s.

1983/1984

I posted this before, I guess no one saw it? It gives production date for anything that serial number was put on.

The data on this website is misleading. 1983/84 is refereeing to the start date of the second manufacturing series, not to the production the OP´s pistol. There is no official data for the P210, only educated guesses based on published information found in books and from collectors. From the estimated annual volume of P210´s made, the production date of P307524 was sometimes between 1986 and 1987. Better information can be found on the test target if it´s still available.

My first new 210s were in the 306XXX and 307XXX serial number ranges. I'd agree with OTD's estimated date range...

P 306751-306850 1985/86 P210-5 V (Vetter) 91
P 309521-309570 1987-90 P210-5 HF V (Vetter) 91

Yes, as OTD indicated, SIG P210 serial number ranges can be a bit confusing. My P210-2, serial number P53326, was manufactured (it appears) in 1953 or thereabouts. One clue to my pistol being earlier production is that the slide stop lever is checkered, not grooved.

It's purty
