20 caliber air rifle known as the Sheridan was discontinured at the end of 2019. The Sheridan line was marketed under the Benjamin name for a short period of time and for a while during the late 1990s then under the Benjamn/Sheridan name, then marketing switched back to the Sheridan brand. Additional changes have taken place occasionally over time but the serial numbering process still followed the Crosman method. In June, 1997 a new trigger unit was introduced. After that it became the C9A and was produced in NY and the serial numbering process follows the one used by Crosman. The C9 had a soldered valve and was made in Racine, Wisconsin until May, 1995. The below serial numbers were applied in numerical order regardless which model was being produced.ġ972 000000 - 025650 First Serial number applied April 10, 1972ġ984 417411 - 437800 431307 first gun with dull finish factory drilled for receiver sight.ġ988 506589 - 529412 494509 first gun with new style pump handle made in May, 1988 Mato ApSerial numbers were in the form of a letter for the month followed by the year of production in reverse, ie: C6691 would by March 1966, B2791 would be February, 1972.

Over time these terms were used to describe any Sheridan Black gun as a Bluestreak and any Silver gun as a Silverstreak, even pistols. Most are Series C from different vintages but some could be Series F.
