Hammerli 208 Serial Number

I was looking at a used Hammerli 208. I have the serial number of the gun but I couldn't find any on the gun: such as when was it made, etc. and where can I find copy of the Owner's manual, are the original tool set ( red pouch ) still available? Where do you find parts for your Hammerli?
I usually found the serial number list of other guns online by doing a bit of browsing or some "research" but not the Hammerli and I tried
Wikipedia, not much was available as well..
Any suggestion would be much appreciated ...

Here’s a link on the manual or at least a digest.

RedFeather Outfitters has some parts, but ask around as to the original importer into Canada.  As getting parts across the border can be a chore.

Thanks for the Pilkguns link for the manual there. Some info also from RedFeather outfitters, but not too much..
Are you able to locate SN & Dates of manufacture info somewhere? Looks like they never had that recorded

A pdf from another source.

Maybe there’s a date code like the Sig-Sauer German pistols.?
