What is the difference between the Benjamin Sheridan 397 and the Crosman Benjamin 397?

Nothing. Crosman
owns both Benjamin and Sheridan. In truth there is only a Benjamin 397. Early on a few were marked Benjamin Sheridan.
Here's why:
Originally all 3 companies were separate air gun manufactures. Benjamin bought outSheridan and continued with the line of airguns some were marked Benjamin Sheridan. Then later in the 1990's Crosman
bought out Benjamin, and kept all 3 names.
Crosman
decided to make Benjamin's in .177 and .22 caliber and Sheridan in 20 caliber only.
They also continued on with there own line of Crosman
air guns/rifles.
Confusing enough..

It's a C series silver streak from 1972 and there is no real damage except for some small wear on the wood stock. How much is my Benjamin Sheridan .20 cal pellet gun worth?
This is possibly the most frustrating airguns to nail down as to the exact model. First of all let me explain. Sheridan was a standalone company. In 1977 Benjamin purchased Sheridan. Some guns were called Benjamin/Sheridan, in 1992 Crosman purchased Benjamin and Sheridan. They decided to call the .177 and .22 caliber rifles "Benjamin" and the .20 caliber rifle "Sheridan." But for awhile they were called "Benjamin/Sheridan." So now we have the models C, C9, CB9, C9PB, Along with Blue Streak and Silver Streak. Not to be confused with the Crosman/Benjamin "Super Streak." (Confused enough) Okay here is what I think your value is according to the Bluebook of airguns 9th edition. in very good condition it is worth between $105 to $135

What is the age of Crosman C9A 5.0mm serial 604700450?
These are exceptional rifles but are one of the most confusing to identify by age. I almost hate to try to identify these but I'm going to try. Here is some history: Sheridan first made this rifle. Benjamin air rifle bought them out and continued to make the rifle. Later still, Crosman bought out Benjamin and continued to produce the C series rifle. Some times it was marketed as a Benjamin/Sheridan later Crosman separated the rifles into two categories, .177 and .22 caliber rifles. These were marketed as "Benjamin rifles" and the .20 (5.0) were marketed as a "Sheridan rifles." (Same rifle, just different calibers.) Crosman also produced the C9, CB, CBW, CW, CB9, C9BP. Some were called "Blue streak" and some were called "Silver streak" depending on Color. In some places you can find Sheridan and in other placed you can find Crosman in the instructions. I believe yours was made sometime between 1998 to 2000. (Best Guess) Foot Note: at one point Benjamin marketed rifles under the "Benjamin Franklin" name as a marketing ploy. Benjamin Franklin had nothing to do with the rifles it just sounded good for sales.
