When was this shotgun made??

Does anyone know approximately what year this shotgun was made?  It's a NEF 10ga.

That pattern came out @ '93. As to when the guns were dipped in it I dont know. Its possible they could have even been dipped several years after with left over stock film.  That pattern was used for dipping for a couple years, Trebark was first in 92, then bottomland original (like yours) then came greenleaf in 94.  You can get in touch with gun manufacturer with serial number to see when the gun was made. I'd guess real soon after manufactured date. Those were sold new with the camo.

Your shotgun should fall somewhere within this range:
Second letter of prefix of serial #

F = 1991
G = 1992
H = 1993
I = 1994

I have the same shotgun, mine is a 1993 model.
I also have a bottomland NWTF 12GA that is a 1991 model & a greenleaf 12GA that is a 1992 model.
