In 1969 Browning started using two digits for the date of manufacture which was followed by a four digit code that identified the type of Hi-Power:
C=Hi-Power

This was then followed by the serial number beginning with 1000.

Example: 69C1000 = A 1969 Hi-Power pistol with a serial number of 1000.

T258001-261000
C=Hi-Power

  2. Date of Manufacture is a two digit code:
    Z=1, Y=2, X=3, W=4, V=5, T=6, R=7, P=8, N=9, M=0
  3. Serial Number beginning with 01001 at the start of each year.
Serial Number Example:

245RT01001

This would be a 9mm Hi-Power pistol, manufactured in 1976 with the serial number 01001.
