Please help Identify/Date some newly acquired firearms.

I will be receiving a few firearms from the estate of a relative.
They are supposedly in excellent condition, but I’ll see for myself next weekend.

I won't even think about all the accessories, scopes & mags and the big Browning safe to boot.

Here are some that stand out from a list I was given.
Based upon some info I have they should all be pre-1991

Walther P88 ser# 0051** 9mm
Colt Python ser# T952** .357
S&W M66 ser# BKA66** .357
Ruger Mini 14 ser#186-406** .223 not certain of year, possibly a pre-ban?
H&K M360 Ser# 371* .223 If the HKPRO forum weren’t down, I’d have asked them what the heck this is.

Can someone tell me something about when these were manufactured or point me to some resource such as a book/website?
Colt and S&W Weatherby all want to charge $30-$50 for info they should provide freely.

Based upon what I’ve seen at Gunbroker.com these seem to be listed for around :
$1000 for the Walther
$800 " Python
$250 " S&W
$??? " Ruger
$??? " H&K
Are these figures in the ballpark?

Yes, I know I've been blessed but I'll probably sell most of them.

http://www.ruger-firearms.com/Firearms/SE-H-RI-Mini14A.html shows the mini-14 as having been made in 1994.

Ain't no "pre-ban" mini-14s, not in any meaningful sense. Worth? What're the specs?

The HK is a 630, not 360. Made in the 1980's.

A roller lock hunting rifle. How cool is that? They be pretty pricey, as with all things HK. They have not been imported for quite a while. I'd hang on to that puppy.

They are a nice bunch and very knowledgeable. They helped me date a Colt Police Positive .38 Spl to 1938. Good luck.

The S&W would probably have been made sometime in the early 1990s.

Update

I called Colt and they said the Python was built 1/91.

I also called SIG about a P230 in the collection- built 4/94

Yes, it is a H&K 630.
