What Gun = Serial # LEK53XX?

[JNewell]

I'm trying to reconcile my firearms records and could use an assist. I'm trying to figure out the manufacturer and model of a firearm with serial number LEK53XX, if possible. Do you recognize the type of firearm that would have had that serial number? Thanks for any assistance.

It looks like a prefix Smith and Wesson might use, but I don't find a LEK listing.

Here are the gun codes for all manufacturers. Scroll down to Le Fulgor.

Glad I could help.

I would have to look in my R&D book but I think that I had a M&P Shield with a SN like that.

Glock uses that exact format, although their numbers only go up to 999. I have to say Smith & Wesson also.

In recent years S&W has used a three letter- four number designation without regard to model or caliber.

The list of codes provided by Red Wind, is interesting (for a proof house?) but the codes have no special connection with serial numbers, international country codes, or manufacturer's markings. Many of the manufacturers have not been active for a century or more. At best they seem to provide a good list of companies which made guns at one time or another, and that is useful but provides no way of identifying an unmarked gun.
