The Benjamin 310 series (310, 312, 317) were made between 1940-1969. My best guess it was made sometime during the 1950's they did not start putting on serial numbers until around 1957 so that should help narrow it down
He was born on the 17th of January, 1706, so he would be 312 years old if he was still alive.

In Excellent condition (LIKE NEW) no scratches, wear, dings, rust or damage it would be worth around $125. In Very good condition it would be worth between $75 - $105
Let me guess your Rifle is either a model 310, 312 or 317. It was made in 1965

Model 312 Benjamin: Mfg: 1940-1969 (177 & 22 Cal) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In perfect shape it is worth around $125
Depending on the condition it would be worth between $40 to $60. But that's without examining it.
I'm going to try to answer your question, but first I need to clarify something:You do mean Pellet gun not Pellet gum. You did not state the manufactures name so I think you mean "Benjamin 312 Pellet rifle."Now all you need to do is verify you meant "Benjamin 312 pellet rifle" and let me know the current condition of this rifle. Also state if it still holds air and is working condition.Then I can give you and estimate of value
Serial numbers are usually on the left side of the barrel near the breech (loading port)

I find two interesting points about this question. The Benjamin model 312 is part of the Benjamin 310 series of rifles 310, 312, 317 made between 1940 and 1969. If there is credit given why is it only on the .22 caliber version, and the second question is. Crosman didn't own Benjamin until 1992 so why would they give credit on such an old air rifle that they were not responsible for making. On Crosmans web site there is NO mention of any type of credit for this model.
