I contacted Weatherby and they did a production search for me with the serial number and told me the gun was produced in 1969! The gun is 42 years old! The gun has an original Weatherby Scope on it and I learned from the folks at Weatherby that the scope was produced for Weatherby by Zeiss Germany. Makarov (PM - Pistolet Makarova) - Here you will find the serial number break down by letters and numbers in order to find out when you Makarov firearm was created. This is as simple as matching red to red, blue to blue, or 1 to 1. Ensure you have your serial number handy and visit this site to begin.

As you posted this on the SKB forum, I assume that you have a SKB-made Athena. They were also manufactured in Spain and Italy.
The following link will give you an idea of just how many different kinds of Athenas Weatherby offered.

I would suggest that you call Weatherby, give them the serial number, and ask them which model you have. With that information you may be better able to determine its value.
Good luck!

I have seen a couple recently priced about $1400 but they seem to be sitting for a while. For a quick sale I'm guessing $1100-$1200 I sure as heck wouldn't put much stock in the $630 avg shown in the link above. The Athena's are excellent guns and generally have nice wood. Sorry about your uncle

Unless you absolutely must sell it to raise some funds, I suggest you consider keeping it as a remembrance of your uncle. Family heirlooms like that are really priceless. If you got $1,200 for the gun, both the money and the gun would be gone in due time, leaving a very empty feeling.

Is a 308 Winchester different from a 308 Weatherby?

There is no such cartridge as a '.308' weatherby, only a .308 Winchester, interchangable with the 7.62 Nato. Once upon a time, Weatherby only made rifles in unique weatherby cartridge calibers, eg. .300 weatherby, .378 weatherby, .460 weatherby, etc. Now weatherby makes rifles in many non-weatherby cartridge calibers, including the .308 Winchester. Do not confuse a rifle manufacturer with the company name that may have introduced the cartridge in which the rifle may be chambered…

I can say that Browning started having shotguns made in 16 gauge in the year 1909.Winchester started having the model 12 shotguns made in 16 gauge in the year 1914.so I would surmise that the time frame of 1909-1915 would be the correct time frame for the introduction of the 16 gauge shotguns.
