Lookup

Also, we do not have record of how many exactly were made of these rifles as their serial numbers of the L61R were mixed with the serial numbers of the other models that were in production at the same time. Here is some info about the model in general: The Sako L61R Finnbear was in production from 1962 till 1991. Sako History Serial Number In Conjunction You can use the Seiko serial number in conjunction with the movement number to calculate the year of manufacture. You will be given an eBay link to check the value, useful links such as manuals, etc and for quartz models the battery information. The 31,267 serial number puts the manufacture of the L61 R rifle at about 1965 time frame. I cannot pin down exactly as I just have a general run of numbers for the L61R from 1962 until 1973, which was serial number 90,xxx. The name Finnbear refers to the 30-06 length rifles.

When a replacement has been found, we will attempt to get back in touch with all inquiries for letters. We appreciate your understanding during this transition.

Griffin & Howe is pleased to make available the sales records of Von Lengerke & Detmold and Abercrombie & Fitch, two legendary purveyors of sporting arms in the 20th century. The records exist in over sixty very large ledger books recording sales and inventory between 1900 and 1977. The sales between 1900 and 1929 represent the sales of Von Lengerke & Detmold which was purchased by Abercrombie & Fitch in 1929. The Abercrombie & Fitch sales and inventory records begin in 1929 and continue through the closing of Abercrombie & Fitch in 1977. Most of the entries are for ‘new’ sales, although several thousand used and consigned sporting firearms passed through their inventory as well. Most of the ‘new’ sales are grouped by Make and Model and an inventory of sporting firearms began on February 1st of each year. Griffin & Howe is involved in an ongoing project to digitally record each page in the record books and index the Makes, Models and Serial Numbers.
