DINK Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I have 000953. Marked on both front and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimFromFL Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) No number on the front.001563 on the back.Purchased directly from Merle and has worked flawlessly. To make your list complete I believe you should also include whether or not it works. Edited January 3, 2013 by JimFromFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bug Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 How can one tell the difference between Wh and Kahr C drums? Markings? Do both use the same SN convention? TIA Bob D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMG28 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Bug, The easiest way to tell visually is the serial number length. The WH drums have serial numbers of four digits, including leading zeros. The Kahr drums have serial numbers of six digits, including leading zeros. Of course, whether it works or not without modification may be another factor. The WH drums I have seen have the number stamped on the front and back plate on all drums, but I don't know if that is true across the entire WH run. As noted above, with the exception of 939, it appears that Kahr dropped the number on the front somewhere between 1103 and 1229. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rader Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 This drum, #00248 is a West Hurley drum, not Kahr. I mess up it has a 4 digit # not 5 digit # 0248 The old double tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Thanks for the SN info above. I looked at what I've identified as a Kahr with 000714 on both front and back. The hole in the spindle foled me a little as did the price. Perhaps it was one of Jack Webbs. Bob D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron_brock Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) I have two. One is 000729 front and back. The other is burried a bit too deep and will need to dig it out. As I recall it seemed odd with no numbers front or back, it also had a messed up finish. - Ron Wait, did I say they were mine? I mean, depending on the outcome our elected officials will bring, I have once viewed the two mentioned above. I do not recall where they were or who was the owner. In fact, I deny viewing them as well.... Edited January 6, 2013 by ron_brock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgeport28A1 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 The #00088? drum serial number might have a number where the ? is located that Uncle Dudley couldn't remember? Uncle Dudley ?
