Does anyone know if theres a database for the serial numbers for date of manufacture? My nephew just picked one up for $100 from a friend and i couldnt give any info on it no matter how far i dug into google. That poor gun spent years behind the seat of a truck and was never cleaned (while the guy had it).
I stripped it down and he scrubbed it clean. I ironed out the wood and oiled it then soaked it in hot water and took 600 wet/ dry to it then oiled it. It came out to be a nice shotgun.
Action was smooth as silk. Any info would be appreciated. Ill post pics when he sends them. I take it you have a Ted Williams 200 shotgun made by Winchester. Here is the manual for the Winchester 1200. Model1200oms.pdf Dad worked at Sears back in the day (40 years ago) and he used to bring home the hunting catalogs with all the guns you could order. I spent hours looking at those catalogs and making lists of the guns I wanted to buy.
I only ended up with a Ted Williams 22lr which I still have and my girls will have to decide what to do with it after I'm dead as it was my first gun. Sears/Ted Williams firearms are no frills, but they have a special place in my heart. Winchester intro'ed the model 1200 in late 1964, but most didn't hit the shelves until 1965. Sears eliminated the Ted Williams line in 1978 and stopped all firearm sales in 1980.
I have no dates of introduction of the model 200. So your looking at a 13 year window at most. I'm sorry that's all the info my books and sources contain. PS The Ted Williams line was Sears best. Yours should have a walnut stock but the finish wasn't quite as good as the Winchesters. You have remedied that problem. If you ask me a $100 for a Winchester made pump is a damn good deal regardless of who's names on it.
I posted the date code list for Sears / Ted Williams / JC Higgins guns somewhere in this thread. Your 2 letter code of 'JK' indicates an October 1965 Date of MFG. Sorry I have forgotten to check into this forum for years now.I have a Ted Williams 12 gauge Model 200 GA Serial number P1690XX and the stamp on the barrel is odd. It looks like a small 'U' and a N after it.
Im thinking according to your numbers that this can only be an 'H' making it a UH stamping. Would this then be August 1969?

A local shop has a Ted Williams lever action 30/30, I know these were made by Winchester for Sears, anyone have a cross reference for dating the Ted Williams rifles? This one has a serial number of V128649, looks to be a top eject. It is in excellent shape, would make a nice truck/hunting gun, would be really great if it shot cast lead good. I really don't 'Need' another 30/30, I have a nice Pre-64 Model 94, and an 80's vintage Ranger filling the rough duty role right now. But, if I could get it for $200 or so and found it shot cast lead good, I'd be pleased. The general concensus seems to be that there are no records available for the Sears serial numbers assigned to Winchester made firearms.
The Sears ser#'s are of a separate series apart from those assigned to the Winchester brand name firearms. Either Sears never released the records,or Winchester agreed not to release them.
Usb cnc controller software. The Cody Museum does not have them AFAIK. It's most likely a 70's/80's mfg '94 and well worth $200 for a shooter if in nice condition IMHO. About the only thing different in the 'house brand guns' apart from the markings on it was the use of a hard wood in the stocks instead of walnut,usually birch, then stained to look like walnut. Sometimes the sights are a bit different,perhaps the butt plate, etc. Nothing major really. Sometimes they used walnut on these too.
It is in excellent shape, maybe even unfired, definetely not cairried in the woods. It has the same type sights as my 1949 vintage Model 94, with five or more elevation steps. My 80's vintage Ranger has only three elevator steps on the rear sight. Thanks for the info on the serial number data. And you are all correct, I must be crazy not to just go ahead and get it for the money. If it shoots cast lead good, it will be a real value.
My tax bill has been what is slowing me down, I think I'll put a deposit on it and do a 30 day layaway.
I own that very shotgun, the model 21. I purchased a left hand safety for mine in about 1970 from a parts catalog for a High Standard that a friend had puchase. I can't tell you though if the model 20 is the same. The 21 is a variable choke slide action. I have never had a problem with it.
NNumrich Arms (www.gunpartscorp.com) has a cross reference section- its on the left side of their home page. You can look up a Sears or Western Auto or Montgomery Ward firearm model, and it will give you the maker, and corresponding model of that maker. NSears Model 21 evolved from the model 20. Parts lists for comparing various Sears modesl are available at www.histandard.info. Answer Actually made by Winchester.
NIf you go to Auctionarms.com you can have an appraisal, or get an idea of what it's worth. NThis shotgun is a model 1400 made by Winchester for Sears&Roebuck.
Sears model 300 Ted Williams semi auto 12 guage, 2 3/4' shells, The stocks are heavily checkered Delux walnut with a silver pomel, both sides and bottom of forearm are checkered. Also has Ted Williams signature recoil pad.
Ted Williams Shotguns
To buy it now on Auctionarms.com it was $235.00/ bidder was getting it for $189.00 nHope this helped someone, cause I was also looking for this info. In the summer of 2007 I bought one on auction for $180. I have seenthe asking price as high as $350. By the way the one I bought was excellent though it did have acouple of minor marks on the wood and metal but since I was lookingfor something to go hunting with and did not to worry aboutscratching it, the gun was perfect for me. I discovered the reasonwhy somebody probably traded it off; it shoots 12' at 2:00 at 50yards. Hard to bring home the venison when you're off that much.Buyer beware!
Value Of Ted Williams 20 Ga Shotgun
This gun was made for bird hunting. That's why it only holds three,two and three quarter in. Shells and has no plug! If you notice itis really light weight. Perfect for swinging around for quickflying birds.
