You can contact the BATFE but unless you have a compelling legal reason , I don't think they will even give you the time of day. Why is the manufacturing date so important? Open the crane, if it is marked Model 36 then it was made between 1957 and 1999. If it is not marked as a Model 36, then it was made 1951-1956.
