Based on the serial number prefix, I'm going to say Mk III. This should also have the larger safety levers (probably ambidextrous).

If you'll slow down and look you'll notice he's been banned, he won't be answering.

And the thread you brought back from the dead is still from 2007.

Are you not able to read and understand the posts? Cliff has been banned from the forum. He can't answer your posts as he is not allowed on here anymore. ::0::

smokefrog, what is the serial number, including both letters and numbers if applicable? If it makes you more comfortable, replace the last 2 numbers with Xs.
And...what are its features? A pic would serve best...

As has been pointed out, cliff won't be around anytime soon...even if he could answer your question :?: :mrgreen:...

The key to answering the year of manufacture of your Hi-power is the two letters in the middle of the serial number. The "P" stands for 8, and the "T" for 6, so it was made in 1986. The "245" at the beginning of the serial number sequence indicates it was a government contract run.

If you want to get the entire alphabet code for identifying year of manufacture, Google "Stephen A. Camp Hi-powers and Handguns". He was one of the great Hi-power gurus, (regretfully now deceased) and his book is on line at that location. It contains a handy one-page guide for identifying when Hi-powers were made.

It is a Mark III. The Camp book provides keys to identifying the different versions.
