The serial number was also applied last by HK, and is also bare steel. This is because they are applied by the proofing house after the gun has been completed and finished by HK. Note the marks in the second picture are all shiny, bare steel. If the magazine has the release at the bottom, it is a PSP. The M13 or M8 (obviously) mean it is an M13 or an M8. The Date Code is circled in red on the first image, IG. Some 'gray market’ imports may show other importers All the 'official’ HK imports will be by HK in Chantilly. US importers are required to stamp or engrave their name on any guns they import. The next thing you might notice is the US importer, HK in Chantilly, VA. It is XX826 on the left image, 86912 on the right image. It will appear on both the slide and frame. Last Update: 03:07 PM The most obvious thing is the Serial Number. Now that we have that squared away, I have to note that it appears that HK has changed their date coding for post-ban LE/military magazines, and there hasn’t been any definitive documentation to indicate what this is. Therefore, if your HK91 shows a date code of IH, it was made in 1987. Using their 2 number codes, it is possible to identify the type of firearm (belt-fed machinegun, submachinegun, etc) and the caliber. HK developed a series of codes to help identify their military/law enforcement firearms. (or how to interpret HK’s codes and other arcane details) VP pistols are made in Heckler & Koch’s Oberndorf factory in southwest Germany and are covered by Heckler & Koch’s limited lifetime warranty. The VP9’s machined steel slide is protected from corrosion and wear by HK’s hostile environment finish. The most obvious thing is the Serial Number. The letter will correspond with the number. The date code is located on the Left hand side of the pistol and is represented by two letters.
