Is a Pardini with serial number BE0249 manufactured 2013 or is the pistol "old" alredy? This has been offered to me but it this pistol might have been on the shelf for years... It is a low number, I think.
It is a elektronik version.
Can anyone give a hint here?

I have serial number BE0447, and bought it about seven years ago here in the US. That being said, I've never had a single issue with it and wouldn't hesitate buying it new today, especially if you can get it at a discount.

Thanks,
Ted

I sent an email to the Pardini factory, and to my surprise I have got an answer. Thumbs up Pardini!
It was produced in 1995! This was offered to me as a brand new at full price.
So, no deal. At what serial number did they start with the latest version?

From the Pardini site, it looks that there is no more SP1NEW elektronik.
Only the rapid fire version.

I might get old, and my memory failing, but I really don't think that there was a electronic Pardini pistol back in 1995. I bought a GPE (.22 short) back in 2001 or 2002, and AFAIK that was the first production e-trigger Pardini ever built (it worked about as well as that, too).

I suspect it should have been 2005.

BE0115 was purchased new at some point between April 2004 and September 2005.
