Congratulations!
They didn’t start putting serial numbers until late 72, but in 1964 they started production dates printed backwards, on the left side of the receiver.
That rear screw on sight was introduced in in 56.
That front sight was introduced late, 1965.
The rocker safety was 1963.
So, You should have production dates on the left side of the breech, backwards, with the month signified by an alphabetical letter. A= jan.
The key for you now will be the date that they stopped the screw on rear sight, because yours will be older than that date.
I’ll send you a link to that info when when I’ve got my other phone charged. I couldn’t find the same link with this phone.

The silver C works as is and the the 1 in question seems to pump and fire , but is missing the drift pin holding the pump arm to the pump tube. Does any one know what size drift pin to get? One more question I have resealed the later crosman c9 before do these all use the same "C series" seal kit?

Thanks for clarification on build changes, I thought it was a mid sixties build. Until now I thought all nickel plated ones were "Silver Streaks" ,Congratulations!

So, If you don’t have production dates you’ve got newer than 65. If you have production dates, it’s written on the left side of the breech, backwards, with the month signified by an alphabetical letter. A= jan.

I wound up with four myself.
The first one in 72. It has been everywhere with me vacations, hunting, fishing, BBQs, any gathering of family or freinds.
Then I bought the "Dumpster Queen" on FB market place. Its a project gun, an early serial number, 72 Silver Streak.
Then I bought "mail order" from two different pawn shops, a 65, and a 55. They all shoot great.
I had to rebuild the Dumpster Queens valving.
