Pictures would help. You can get a pretty decent idea on year from various changes they made through the years

HW35 SS# 3 E 5737

At a quick glance, mid to late 60s but pre-1974 (I think thats when they added the rubber butt pad) would be my guess

Serial should be 6 digits, no letters. The second figure is probably not an "E" - a badly-stamped "8" maybe? If I'm right, then 1969 or 1970.

It's an HW 35L ("Luxus"). That beautiful stock - rounded / checkered grip, factory sling swivels, Bayern-style cheekpiece - is regarded by many (including ME, lol) as the best ever put on the 35. NICE rifle!

Love the old German rounded pistol grip.. it was big on old Brownings. A5. I may do a stock for a 95 with that..

Nothing wrong with that. I have two of the Luxus HW35s and both are indoor only, safe queens that only get used occasionally because I dont want to scratch them. You get to gallavant around the woods with yours without a care in the world

I was looking at an 80s vintage hw35 before my latest purchase. Seller is across the pond, and I have been unsuccessful at reaching via email or phone. It has a smooth stock with the finger grooves that aren't my preference, but has a darker than average wood tone against brass hardware that sells it.

I didnt like the looks of the finger grooves at first either. Once you get the gun in hand and actually shoot it though you'll love them. Much handier than the new style
