Frank, See if you can find a date code on it somewhere.
It's a small oval with a number and a letter stamped inside of it.
You can also google search with what you do know about gun, lots of info out there. check the link, good luck.

Springfield 947D single shot 12 gauge shotgun serial number location...

Looks like January 1945. http://fulton-armory.com/faqs/m1g-faqs/tea/m1serial.htm

You may have some numbers scrambled up. Look just behind the rear sight. Who made it and what number is on that heel? Once you have that, the gun should be gone over to see how many re-builds it's had, what parts it contains (common to find SA trigger groups on Win guns.) and what is still original. "Mint condition" has a very specific meaning and what looks 'brand new' to one not familiar with guns can be spotted as a re-finished parts gun from ten feet away. Value depends on many different factors and can't be determined without examination.

That specific M1 was produced sometime in November, 1943. I hope this helps!

For starters, you DIDN'T state if it's a M1 Garand, or a M1 Carbine.

But, it doesn't matter.

Neither one had a serial number range into the 22 MILLIONs that you stated!

Did you type one digit too many?

September 1941 (serial numbers 324,302 - 349,442)

Depends on manufacturer.



If it\'s a Springfield Armory, June, 1945. (3 months before end of WWII)



Winchester Repeating Arms Company only ran up to serial number 1,640,xxx

What does this have to do with PC laptops ???
