Colt Serial Number Lookup?

[vintage68]

I seem to vaguely remember a website where you can type in your Colt's serial number and it'll come up with the year it was made.

Anyone have the link?

There's also a book that does this as well, but they're hard to find and I don't have one at the moment.

Thanks

Proofhouse is a good source. If the gun was made post 1985 the SN won't be in proofhouse. Just call Colt on their 800 number and ask for the the date of manufacture. They will tell you that and only that. Anything more requires a high priced letter.
