Sheridan was very haphazard about numbering and naming there models. In 1977 Benjamin bought the Sheridan line of air guns later Crosman bought both Benjamin and Sheridan. Some models actually say Benjamin Sheridan on the rifle. Sheridan who had been around since 1945 finally started numbering their rifles in 1972.

When was serial numbers first used on Benjamin sheridan air rifles?
Originally Sheridan, Benjamin and Crosman were 3 separate companies. Benjamin bought-out Sheridan. A few years later Crosman bought-out Benjamin. Today Crosman owns all 3 companies. In 1975 Crosman started serial numbering Benjamin / Sheridan air rifles. Before that (1975) it is not easy to identify the year the Benjamin or Sheridan's were made.
How do you age a sheridan air rifle with no serial number?
You cannot age a sheridan air rifle with no serial number. ----------------------------------- New Answer------------------ The above answer is not entirely correct.

What is age of Sheridan c series air rifle serial number 544318?
Sheridan has somewhat of a murky past. The company started in 1945. The silver streak was made from 1949-1990. In 1972 Sheridan started serializing their air rifles, starting with #000000. in 1977 Benjamin air gun company bought out Sheridan. in 1992 Crosman bought out Benjamin. Today Crosman owns all three companies. So if your air rifles has a serial number, it was made after 1977. I found a list of serial numbers for Sheridan on the Crosman web site but they only go up to (#437801) that were made in 1985. So yours was made sometime after 1985.

I don't know if all High Standard A-100 rifles (semi-auto, .22LR caliber) had serial numbers. Gun companies didn't have to use serial numbers until 1968, and a lot of inexpensive .22 rifles and shotguns didn't have any serial numbers back then.
